Kindle deals disappointed this Prime Day, but these ones are still live
UPDATE: Jul. 18, 2024, 11:15 a.m. EDT This article has been updated with the latest Kindle deals now that Prime Day 2024 has officially wrapped up. Most deals left with Prime Day but some savings are still available on Kindle bundles.
Amazon Prime Day has officially wrapped up, and we can confidently say this year's Kindle deals were disappointing. They weren't exactly bad, but they were certainly not the insane discounts we've seen in the past.
There hasn't been a new Kindle model since 2022, when the entry-level Amazon Kindle got a refresh and the Kindle Scribe made its debut. So, we were hoping to see some impressive discounts across the board. But alas, our original predictions were right. We saw the lowest price ever on the Kindle Paperwhite last Prime Day, and then smaller discounts for Amazon's October Prime Day and Black Friday. With that pattern, we weren't expecting record-low prices this summer, and that's what the deals reflected.
We were surprised by just how lackluster the Kindle deals were, considering other Amazon devices, like the Echo line-up, were at their lowest prices during Prime Day (which ran July 16 and 17). Because the Kindle deals flopped, we weren't expecting them to hang around. However, if you can't wait until the next Prime Day to shop, there are still some savings to be had, specifically on Kindle bundles. Keep in mind these are nowhere near the lowest prices on these devices, but it will save you up to $20.
Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price.
