You know what they say: Good things come to those who wait. Well, it’s proving true when it comes to Black Friday Kindle deals.

Amazon has a knack for launching new devices around Prime Day, so it was no surprise when they dropped a new batch of Kindles post-October Prime Day. We’ve tested our way through most of the latest models, and they’re improving upon already great tech for the fastest, brightest Kindles yet. Our favorite is the Kindle Paperwhite, and yes, it’s on sale.

Because these items are so new, we weren’t expecting to see amazing discounts. The last few Prime Day sales on Kindles have been disappointing, so it’s a pleasant surprise to see such good prices — a real Black Friday miracle. Early on we saw Kindle bundles go on sale, but now, single devices are marked down up to 27% off.

Here are the best Kindle deals to shop on Black Friday. We’ll be tracking prices throughout Cyber weekend, so if any new Kindle deals pop up, you’ll find them here.

Why we like it

The new batch of 2024 Kindles are the fastest yet, turning pages quickly and with less delay when switching between books in your library. The Kindle Paperwhite and Signature Edition both have bright, high-contrast screens, so you can read in any environment. While I prefer the Kindle Paperwhite over the Signature Edition most of the time, right now you can’t beat the SE’s Black Friday price.

The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is 23% off, bringing it down to $154.99. That’s some big savings ($45 to be exact) on a device that’s usually $200. You get everything you love in the Paperwhite, lightweight and waterproof design, with the added benefits of double the storage, wireless charging, and auto-adjusting brightness.

Amazon Kindle Scribe Essentials Bundle

$539.97
Save $60.00

Why we like it

Among the new Kindles is a redesigned Scribe, which comes in classic black or a flashy metallic jade and won’t be officially available until Dec. 4. The new Scribe’s screen got a makeover with added white borders to give it a more notebook-like feel. If the new model is anything like the current one, I’m excited to see what it offers.

If you’re an annotator, the Kindle Scribe is the e-reader for you. The matte screen feels like writing on paper, and includes a notebook section so you can take notes in addition to annotating your e-books. Personally, I like writing with the Kindle Scribe far more than I do with an iPad and Apple Pencil.

This deal gives you a little extra off ahead of the Scribe’s December release. The Essentials Bundle comes with the device, premium pen, folio-style case, and power adapter — everything you need to get started. Normally $539.97, you can find the bundle for $479.97, saving you $60 for 11% off.
