With the arrival of November comes a time when the Black Friday deals start popping up with gusto, all of which means it'll be a good time to go on the hunt for a Kindle deal.

New Kindles have been released which will hopefully see the older models tumble in price on both Amazon and at other retailers. Speaking of which there's a Best Buy sale that's slated for a November 8 start, while a Walmart one will follow on November 11. In the UK, Currys, Argos, Very, John Lewis and Boots all have sales live. So this means now is the time to chase down bargains, and look out for cut-price Kindles.

Our advice it to take a look at our best Kindles, where you'll find a suite of Kindles we've fully tested, find out which one is best for you and then go seeking for some deals. One of our picks would be the Kindle Paperwhite due to its feature set, not that you can really go wrong with any Kindle, especially if you find it at a bargain price.

So read on for more information about the best Kindle deals what to expect come Black Friday 2024.

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.
