Amazon Prime Day 2023 may not have been announced yet, but the online retailer is already steeply discounting items ahead of the summer sale event. Devices like Apple AirPods, robot vacuums, and more are already on sale, but there's one deal in particular that we're super excited about: Kindles. Amazon's e-readers are up to 23% off in a rare early Amazon Prime Day 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 features, like WiFi accessibility to access the Amazon Kindle Store, where you can download the latest and greatest reads. Plus, 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.

We'll be updating this page with the latest and greatest Kindle deals as we get more info about Amazon Prime Day 2023. We recommend bookmarking this article so you can quickly come back to it and score yourself a new reader at an ultra-low cost.


Is Kindle on sale during Amazon Prime Day?

While we don't know official Amazon Prime Day 2023 deals just yet, we're hopeful that seeing the Kindle on sale ahead of the official sale event means we'll see price drops even further. In years past Kindle devices have been included in Prime Day deals, so we're tentatively saying yes. We'll keep this post updated with information so be sure to save this article so you can easily come back.


Will Prime Day have Kindle Unlimited deals?

In Prime Days past we've seen Amazon drop deals on a Kindle Unlimited subscription. Right now, there aren't any savings on a subscription to the online library-style service, but you can access a 30-day free trial with the purchase of your new Kindle, or if you've yet to try it out on a device you already own.


What were the best Kindle deals for Prime Day 2022?

Last year, we saw Prime Day Kindle Deals drop pretty significantly, with a handful of models dropping around or below $100. There's no telling what Amazon will do this year, but we're hoping to see comparable, if not better, pricing. The in-house device from Amazon is a crowd favorite and a great buy for your summer adventures if you want to stay up-to-date on reading but don't want to lug around a host of heavy books.

Kindle (2022 Release) is $80 (20% off; $20 off)

With this version (aka the most affordable Kindle), you're getting all of the great features of the Amazon e-reader at a fraction of the cost. 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.

Kindle Paperwhite (8GB) is $110 (21% off; $30 off)

The Kindle Paperwhite is a step up in screen size, with a 6.8-inch screen to read off of. Both the 8GB and 16GB storage options are seeing discounts, so depending on how many books you like to keep stored on your device, you can still save. 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 thas a bit easier on the eyes. It's also IPX8 water-resistant rated, so it's a great pool or beachside pick.

Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition (32GB) is $145 (24% off; $45 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, that one is for you!). The battery will last up to 10 weeks on a single charge and while it might be the most expensive Kindle, it's exciting to see it drop under $150.

Kindle Kids is $85 (29% off; $35 off)

For the little reader who doesn't have much room in their travel bags for those summer reading list picks, the Kindle Kids can come in handy.
