All the best Kindle deals to shop on Black Friday
UPDATE: Nov. 10, 2023, 10:04 a.m. EST We've updated this page with the latest early Black Friday Kindle deals.
Black Friday 2023 sales on top Kindles are slowly but surely heating up at Amazon. Here are our top picks as of Nov. 10:
Kindles are one of the shiniest jewels in Amazon's crown — which is to say the retailer takes great pride in its line of Kindle e-readers and always puts them on sale during major shopping events like Prime Day or Black Friday. Luckily for you, the latter is coming up fast (mark your G-Cal for Nov. 24!), so you'll be sure to encounter some not-to-miss Kindle markdowns.
Even now, there are a select number of Kindles that Amazon just couldn't wait to reduce in price. To be sure, these are all Certified Refurbished versus new models... but then again, Black Friday isn't here yet (we know you're excited and we get it).
If you absolutely, positively can't wait to snag a Kindle for the bookworms in your life (yourself included), you might as well pull the trigger and do so now — what with these top Kindle deals, already live.
Best budget Kindle deal
Why we like it
The 2022 Kindle is the perfect solution for reading on-the-go — after all, it's lightweight/portable (it weighs just 158 grams!) and has a battery life that lasts for weeks on end. In her Oct. 2023 review of this e-reader, reporter Mallory Minich praised this Kindle's brightness adjustment settings for reading at night and dedicated "night mode" that reduces eye strain. With its 300ppi resolution, you're sure to get crisp, easy-to-read text (or imagery, if your books have it) on the 2022 Kindle. The fact that the device is made from recycled materials is also something to feel good about! PS: Don't be scared by the fact that this particular Kindle is refurbished. Amazon thoroughly tested it to ensure it's packed with the latest software and is fully functional.
Best mid-range Kindle deal
Why we like it
The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (32 GB) was deemed "Best Kindle Overall" in our Best Kindles of 2023 roundup for a reason. Its 6.8-inch glare-free display with adjustable warm light is bound to keep you immersed in a books for hours. 32 gigs of storage space is also more than enough for even the most dedicated bookworms among us (it's perfect for loading up tons of regular books and audiobooks both). The Signature Edition Kindle is able to last up to 10 weeks on a single charge and can be charged wirelessly (though the wireless charger isn't included in this purchase). Color us impressed.
Best premium Kindle deal
Why we like it
The Kindle Scribe is really the cream of the crop in the Kindle universe. That's because it doubles as a notebook: Allowing you to annotate the books you read by adding digital sticky notes, pen journal entries in a dedicated lined paper space, organize your thoughts with a "to-do" template, and so much more. Keep in mind that this is a bigger (and heavier) Kindle than its predecessors, which might mean wrist strain after holding it for too long. The Kindle Scribe comes with additional perks, like automatic rotating page orientation and the ability to import/export docs with ease. Our reviewer Alex Perry appreciated the fact that the Scribe's screen is so large ("especially for anyone with eyesight problems") and that its battery life is so mighty.
