Editor's note: With the Cyber Monday deals having taken over from Black Friday, we now have a rundown of the best Cyber Monday Kindle deals to buy before the sales season ends.

The Black Friday deals are deal! Long live the Black Friday deals! If you'll pardon that eccentric intro, please let me tell you that there are still some great Kindle deals to be had; in no small part thanks to the Amazon Cyber Monday deals.

Right now, you can get deals on the new 2024 Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite, both of which are worthy candidates for our best Kindles page; we've tried and tested all the Kindles on that list, so trust us when we say they are good.

Now I will say that there's not a deluge of Kindle deals ot be had, but there are key modes that have been sliced in price; just bear in mind such sales are dynamic and Kindles can go up or down in price suddenly or go out of stock.

So with that in mind, scroll down for the best Black Friday Kindle deals you can still buy right now as we drive towards the Cyber Monday deals.

Kindle ereaders are always popular deals during Black Friday, and I predict this discount on Amazon's all-new model will go fast. Amazon's latest Kindle was just released this month, and you can find a first-time discount, which brings the price down to $89.99. The 2024 Kindle is Amazon's lightest and most compact e-reader and features a six-inch glare-free display and a battery life that lasts six weeks.

Amazon Kindle
Amazon Kindle: was £94.99 now £79.99 at Amazon

The newest version of the standard Kindle is now on sale for the first time ever as part of the Black Friday sale at Amazon. It's a basic ereader, but it still boasts a six-week battery life and space for thousands of books. Given it's £45 cheaper than the Paperwhite, this is clearly a better pick for the infrequent reader after a more budget-friendly option. It's still a solid option, though, with a 6-inch glare-free display, fast page turns and an adjustable front light to help you read in all environments.

If you don't want adverts to blight your Kindle experience then you can pay a little more and get the 2024 Kindle ads-free. And thanks to Black Friday you can save a neat £16.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite: was £159.99 now £124.99 at Amazon

Amazon's all-new Kindle Paperwhite is on sale for the first time since launch this Black Friday. Previous versions have been reduced to under £100 in the past, but it's unlikely we'll ever see an offer like that again on this upgraded version. We found in our Kindle Paperwhite review that it's packed with features to suit all avid readers, including an improved 12-week battery life, a larger glare-free 7-inch screen, adjustable warm light and storage space for thousands of books.

Amazon Kindle Scribe
Amazon Kindle Scribe: was £329.99 now £214.99 at Amazon

The Kindle Scribe has been discounted a handful of times now since its release and this is the cheapest price I've seen so far. It combines some of the best features of the Kindle Paperwhite, such as the glare-free and auto-adjusting display, along with the option to take notes, comment on documents, and doodle using the included stylus pen. Our Kindle Scribe review was down on some missing features that have been added in recent updates, so now this is good value for a multi-functional device.

Black Friday Kindle deals: FAQs

When will the Black Friday Kindle deals start in 2024?

Black Friday 2024 itself will start on November 29, with deals sure to run from there across the weekend and into Cyber Monday, and perhaps beyond. But you can expect deals to arrive well in advance of that, likely some six weeks to two months ahead of the actual day itself.

Kindle deals will likely happen closer to Black Friday propper, but do keep a lookout for discounts on Kindle bundles before then; we'll be flagging the deals on this page, so get it bookmarked.

Is Black Friday the best time to buy a Kindle?

Not quite. The very best time to buy a discount Kindle is during Amazon's Prime Day or Prime Big Deal Days sales event, which this year took place in July and October respectively. However, Black Friday and the sales across the period it now occupies, makes it a great time to grab a discounted Kindle, especially an older model.

What Black Friday Kindle deals should I expect?

You can expect price cuts on just about every Kindle this Black Friday. Whether you want the affordable and capable Kindle, the water-resistant Kindle Paperwhite, or the big and feature-packed Kindle Scribe, you can expect such deals on, and in advance of, November 29, 2024.

The Kindle Oasis, Amazon's most premium Kindle ereader, doesn't usually get the same great discounts, considering its higher starting price, but we still expect sales. Expect big deals on the base model and the Paperwhite, especially.

Amazon also loves bundles, so we will probably see Kindles bundled with free covers, as well as offers for limited free subscriptions to Amazon's unlimited reading services, Kindle Unlimited and Kindle Kids.

Amazon is always the best place to start your Black Friday Kindle deals shopping, but it isn't the only place to find a Kindle deal. Kindle ereaders aren't available everywhere, but Best Buy and Target sell them and often cut prices to compete with whatever deal Amazon is running.
