Amazon is kicked off its Black Friday sale with the best Kindle deals we’ve seen all year, and those same price cuts have continued on into its Cyber Monday sale. Pretty much every model is now at its lowest price of 2025, so if you’ve been hoping to pick up a good e-reader at a discount, Cyber Monday is your last chance to do so. I’ve had my Kindle Paperwhite for over a year now and it’s one of the only devices I use every day. If you do a lot of reading, I highly recommend getting a Kindle for yourself and changing your life for the better. It’s literally thousands of books in the palm of your hand.
There are four core models currently discounted in Amazon’s Cyber Monday sale: The Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Colorsoft, Kindle Scriber, and the standard Kindle. Each comes with the option for a free trial of Kindle Unlimited if you don’t already have a subscription.
The Best Kindle Deals at Amazon Today
The last time I saw Kindle prices drop this low was during Prime Day in July, and Amazon has matched or gone lower for each model for Black Friday and Cyber Monday this year. The Kindle Paperwhite is currently IGN’s top pick for the best reading tablet, and it is currently matching its lowest price ever at $124.99. Perhaps the overall best discount here, however, is on the Kindle Colorsoft. Amazon’s full color e-reader has dropped to a new low price of $169.99, which is a full $80 off its usual price. The standard Amazon Kindle has also dropped to its lowest price ever at just $79.99, which is getting into dangerously affordable territory.
Which Kindle should you buy?
With multiple models discounted, it’s worth considering the advantages and disadvantages of each before you buy. If all you need is a regular e-ink reading tablet that can function as a replacement for physical books, then it mostly comes down to a choice between the Kindle Paperwhite and the standard Kindle. I’ve used both myself and the only real difference is in the size of the screen itself. The Kindle Paperwhite has a 7-inch screen while the regular Kindle is only 6-inches. I personally like the additional reading room, but since you can change the font size easily it isn’t necessarily worth the extra $45 in this case. Both options also include the adjustable backlight, so reading at night is super easy either way.
The Kindle Colorsoft is what I’d recommend for anyone planning on reading digital comics and manga. The standard Kindles can load comics and graphic novels, but only in black and white. The Colorsoft will allow for full color, making it the best overall option for anything with pictures. An iPad is probably a better choice for comics, but it’s a lot more expensive and doesn’t feature the same soft e-ink display as a Kindle does.
