SAVE $53: If you missed out on Prime Day's Kindle deals, you can score a like-new Kindle Paperwhite for only $106.99 at Amazon as of July 15. That's 33% off the full price and $18 cheaper than the Prime Day price.

As they rarely see price drops, it's no surprise that Amazon Kindles were one of the most impressive and most popular deals on Prime Day 2025. But sadly, as soon as the event ended on July 11, the deals vanished. If you missed out on the $85 Kindle or the $125 Kindle Paperwhite, we can't magically resurrect those deals. However, there is a consolation prize: a $106.99 like-new Kindle Paperwhite.

As of July 15, you can grab a like-new (used, but in fantastic condition) Kindle Paperwhite (16GB) at Amazon for only $106.99. That's $53 cheaper than buying one at full price and $18 cheaper than the Prime Day deal. Sure, it's used, but Amazon's "like-new" devices are fully functional and thoroughly cleaned and inspected, as if they are fresh off the shelf. They may come in slightly damaged or different packaging, but that's no biggie.

The Kindle Paperwhite is hands-down our favorite Kindle device (though I have the basic Kindle myself and also highly recommend it!). Mashable's e-reader expert Sam Mangino calls it "as good as an e-reader can get with its responsive interface, quick-turning pages, and lightweight design."

It's waterproof (unlike the basic Kindle), comes with adjustable screen warmth and brightness, and can last up to 12 weeks on one charge. For these reasons, plus its ultra quick interface, Mangino concludes that it's "not just the best Kindle but the best e-reader overall."

If you don't mind buying used, you can get the Paperwhite for 33% off for a limited time, which technically beats Prime Day.
