If you haven't heard, Amazon's October Prime Day event, dubbed Prime Big Deal Days, has officially started. The fall shopping event is dropping prices in a major way, across nearly all categories. Apple Watches, robot vacuums, and more are already on sale, and while the official event will be exclusive to Prime members today and ends tonight at 11:59 p.m. PDT.

There's one deal in particular that we're super excited about: Kindles, Amazon's e-reader. Kindles only drop in price a couple of times a year (specifically around Black Friday), so when we saw these October Prime Day Kindle deals, they immediately caught our eye.

Is Kindle on sale during Amazon Prime Big Deal Days?

We saw a couple of models go on sale during early deals, but now as official savings kick off we're seeing lots of Kindles go on sale this October Prime Day. Kindle devices were also included in July Prime Day deals (some were as low as $100), a further hint Amazon would mark them down once again.

Does Prime Big Deal Days have Kindle Unlimited sales?

The current Kindle Unlimited subscription deal offers $4.99 per month for your first two months. After those two months, you'll have to pay the full price of $11.99 per month.

Kindle Scribe (16GB) is $265 (22% off; $75 off)

The Kindle Scribe is the newest addition to the Kindle lineup. The biggest differentiator from other Kindles is that you're able to scribble in your own notes, journal, and draw using the included pen, dubbed the Basic Pen. It gives the Kindle more of a tablet feel, but keeps the matte anti-glare screen and boasts a battery life that lasts up to 12 weeks (based on 30 minutes of reading a day). I've personally tested the Kindle Scribe and while it's more expensive than the others, it's well worth the splurge thanks to the additional functionality. It's great for reading on my commute and I use it as my notebook throughout the day.

Kindle (2022 Release) is $75 (25% off; $25 off)

With this version (aka the most affordable Kindle), you're getting all of the great features of the Amazon e-reader. This model has a 6-inch screen, 16GB of storage for all your favorite reads, and comes in a classic black or denim blue finish. It's a lightweight reader that will last up to six weeks on a single charge, meaning you'll be able to flip through your digital pages all vacation long. This Kindle connects to WiFi for access to the Kindle Store and lets you read downloaded books while offline.

Kindle Paperwhite (8GB) is $95 (32% off; $45 off)

The Kindle Paperwhite is a step up in screen size, with a 6.8-inch screen to read off of. You can choose between 8GB and 16GB storage options, so you can pick the best fit depending on how many books you like to keep stored on your device. The battery of this gadget should last you up to 10 weeks on a single charge, and it has an adjustable warm light built into the screen so you can switch from white to an amber light that's a bit easier on the eyes. It's also IPX8 water-resistant rated, so it's a great pool or beachside pick.

Kindle Oasis is $200 (20% off; $50 off)

The Kindle Oasis is IPX8 waterproof, so if your idea of a perfect evening is reading in the tub or by the pool, this is the e-reader you'll want to add to your cart. It has a seven inch screen that you can adjust the shade of (from a crisp and cool toned white to a softer amber yellow). The IPX8 rating means it's able to withstand immersion in fresh water (up to two meters) for 60 minutes, and in 0.25 meters of salt water 3 minutes. In other words, you've found your summertime e-reader.

Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (32GB) is $140 (26% off; $50 off)

Sticking to the same 6.8-inch screen, the Paperwhite Signature Edition has everything the Paperwhite Edition offers, and then some. The device is wireless charging enabled, features an auto-adjusting front light, and a whopping 32GB of storage. The front light will automatically adjust based on the lighting of the space you're reading in, and you can even schedule lighting changes (nighttime readers, this one's for you!). The battery will last up to 10 weeks on a single charge and while it might be the most expensive Kindle, you're getting loads of features and tech specs.

Kindle Kids (2022 Release) is $80 (33% off; $40 off)

For the little reader who doesn't have room in their backpack for their books, the Kindle Kids comes in handy. A single charge lasts up to 6 weeks (so they can't use a dead battery as an excuse) and your purchase comes with a Kindle cover, a year-long subscription to Amazon Kids, plus a two-year warranty. You'll also have access to the Parent Dashboard, where you can check their average reading times and set goals.

Amazon Prime Day 2023 may not have been announced yet, but the major online retailer is dropping hints at a big sale coming soon. We know this because devices like Apple Watches, robot vacuums and more are already seeing major discounts. What we're really excited about is the awesome deals we're seeing right now on Kindles, Amazon's e-reader. Right now, you can snag the gadget for up to 23 percent off in an rare sale we almost never see. Typically, Kindles only drop in price around major holiday savings events (think Black Friday) so we're jazzed to see the price dropping this June.

Kindles come with a host of standard features, like WiFi accessibility to access the Amazon Kindle Store, where you can download the latest and greatest reads. The battery lives of Kindles are seriously impressive: select models will last up to 10 weeks on a single charge. The screens of each Kindle are matte and glare-proof, so you can enjoy your books just about anywhere without worrying about a reflecting screen.
