Amazon Prime Day is still a few days away, but the deals started rolling in weeks ago. If you're a reader looking to finally make the jump to e-readers, or you already have a Kindle in need of an upgrade, we've got good news for you: Some Prime Day Kindle deals are already live ahead of the official day. A lot of deals are yet to come as we inch closer to Prime Day, but if you're in a hurry to get a Kindle right away, you can still save some cash with the active deals right now. Apple's iPads are also discounted right now, and so are some other tablets if you want a device for more than reading.

As much as we love the feel of physical books, a Kindle just makes more sense nowadays, especially if you like to read on the go, read between books before you finish them, or have a back-up book on deck. If you're going through books too quickly, an e-reader that can store hundreds of books, while being easy on your eyes and not needing to be plugged in all the time might be the ideal option for you.

There hasn't been a new Kindle model since the 2022 entry-level Amazon Kindle refresh, so we'd love to expect greater discounts than ever before. However, 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. So, we're not expecting record-low prices this summer — at least not on the Kindle Paperwhite. While the discounts on all of the Kindle models haven't been unveiled just yet, here are the best Prime Day Kindle deals you can get right this moment.

We'll be updating this page throughout the official savings event, so stay tuned for more to come.

Note: All newly added deals are marked with a ✨, while deals with a 🔥 have dropped to an all-time low price.

Why we like it

Read our full review of the Kindle Scribe.

It's not a perfect device, but the Kindle Scribe is the most versatile option for those looking for a smoother transition into e-reading. It comes with a stylus to mark up whatever you're reading, bridging the gap between the traditional and digital world. Feel free to highlight, take notes in the margins, and doodle to your heart's content. The digital drawing features aren't the best out there, but if you're a note-taking reader, this is your best bet. The 16GB version with the Premium Pen is on sale for just $259.99 ahead of Prime Day — that's 30% in savings and its lowest price on record.

Got two little bookworms? With this deal, you can save $20 by snagging two Kindle Paperwhite Kids devices. Unlike typical tablets, the Kindle Paperwhite Kids doesn't get access to apps, videos, or games, making for a distraction-free reading device for your kiddos. Just add two to your cart and the discount will automatically be applied.
