We love Kindles. It's a gadget that gives you access to thousands of books in an instant and isn't meant to do anything but good old reading. They're discounted during most deals holidays, including Cyber Monday. Our Kindle guide has more details if you aren't sure which model to get. We've also rounded up the Best Ebook Readers overall (spoiler: the Paperwhite tops that list, too).
We test products year-round and handpicked these deals. The discount amounts we show are based on actual street prices at retailers in the past few months. Products that are sold out or no longer discounted as of publishing will be crossed out. We'll update this guide periodically.

Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition for $140 ($50 off)
We tested the Signature Edition Paperwhite (8/10, WIRED Recommends), which has wireless charging capabilities and 32 gigabytes of storage. This matches the price we saw during Amazon Prime Day, but is $10 more than last Cyber Monday. The standard Paperwhite is $120 ($20 off), but you lose waterproofing and auto-adjusting warm lighting.
Standard Kindle for $80 ($20 off)
The base Kindle is the cheapest and smallest one you can get, and it's still a solid device if you don't want to spend over $100. It was slightly cheaper in October at $75, but this is $5 less than it was last year.
Kindle Oasis for $200 ($70 off)
There isn't a good excuse to spend this kind of money on a Kindle anymore, and we're not sure if this 2019 model will be updated eventually, but we love the physical page-turn buttons. It's $20 cheaper than it was during Prime Day, but we saw a much larger discount last year when it dropped to $165.
Kindle Paperwhite Kids Edition for $135 ($35 off)
This is the best kid Kindle, but we've seen much better deals; last year it dropped to $105, and it was $110 during Prime Day. Kids Kindles comes with a case, a two-year no-questions-asked replacement guarantee, and a year of Amazon Kids+. The base Kindle Kids is $100 ($20 off), but it isn't waterproof.
Kindle Scribe for $240 ($100 off)
The Kindle Scribe (8/10, WIRED Recommends) is far too expensive and large for most of us, but if you want an ebook reader that doubles as a notebook, it works well. For $30 more, the premium pen automatically triggers the eraser tool when you turn it around, so there's less time spent switching between tools on-screen. It's not waterproof, which is an odd omission at this price, and you can't write directly on most books—you still need to use the sticky note feature.
Kindle Accessory DealsStrapsicle E-Reader Hand Strap for $18 ($4 off)
If you want a better way to hold your Kindle, the Strapsicle can help. The soft silicone straps attach to the back of your e-reader and give you a better spot to rest your hands. It comes in multiple sizes depending on your e-reader.
Kindle Unlimited 3-Month Subscription for $1 ($34 off)—New Subscribers
This deal is only available for new subscribers. Kindle Unlimited is an excellent subscription service for people that own Kindles or read books on the Kindle app. There are thousands of books available to borrow for free. I, Louryn, would rather get rid of all my streaming services than to go without Kindle Unlimited. Just be aware that you should set a reminder to cancel, lest the service auto-renews at $11 per month after the trial ends. And note that if you're buying a Kindle today, you can choose to get three months for free when adding the product to your cart.
Anker Nano Power Bank 10,000 for $35 ($15 off)
This solid option from Anker made the honorable mentions in our Best Portable Chargers. It has a 10,000-mAh capacity, good for just shy of two full charges for most phones, a built-in USB-C cable that doubles as a loop for easy carrying, and an additional USB-C and USB-A port. It maxes out at 30 watts each way and can be fully charged in around two hours. While Kindle batteries last forever, they do need to be recharged eventually. This is an easy way to top off on the go.
Google Pixel Buds A-Series for $60 ($40 off)Best BuyWalmartStaples
If you prefer listening to audiobooks on your Kindle, Google's Pixel Buds A-Series (8/10, WIRED Recommends) are our favorite earbuds for the money. That's thanks to a neat package that fits well, sounds good, and costs less than plenty of competitors. They don't have noise canceling which we're starting to see pretty regularly in this price class, but this sale pushes them close to half the original cost for a killer bargain.
