Best Kindle Deals for Amazon Prime Day 2026

The Amazon Kindle Scribe Colorsoft is the first color Kindle. Tech expert Thomas Deehan tested the black-and-white version in his review of the best e-readers: “For those who just need to have a pen handy when reading through a novel, the Kindle Scribe is simply the best option to go because the included stylus wonderfully recreates the feeling of writing on a page,” said Thomas. There’s also a huge library of paper types to write on – from plain and lined paper to planners, to-do lists and diaries.

All of this comes at a price, however, with the device usually costing more than an entry-level iPad. So a discount of almost 40 percent before Prime Day is welcome news.

Already the cheapest Kindle Amazon produces, this model was discounted by 37 percent ahead of Amazon’s October Prime Day sale. In tech critic Steve Hogarty’s guide to the best Kindles, he found that the standard Kindle offers “everything you need in a modern, no-frills ereader.” He wrote that the device has “a decently sharp, 6in, 300dpi e-ink display; about six weeks of battery life; USB-C charging; front lighting with LEDs; and about 12GB of usable storage”.

Compared to more expensive Kindles, the lighting is stark blue-white when reading in the dark, rather than a warm amber, but if you’re looking for a basic Kindle, this deal is worth snapping up.

With this seriously impressive Pre-Prime Day deal, the Kindle Coloursoft, which is the full-colour version of the Kindle, has been reduced in price by a massive 44 per cent – that’s a discount of £115. The Coloursoft adds a vibrant vibrancy to your favorite books and magazines. The e-ink display screen is glare-free and has an automatically adjusting front light. The device is also waterproof, making it perfect for reading by the pool, and it can last up to eight weeks on a single charge.

Reduced by 36 per cent before Prime Day, the Kindle Paperwhite Kids offers parents the chance to save more than £75 this Prime Day. In tech expert Steve Hogarty’s guide to the best Kindles, he detailed all the advantages of the device, describing how “Parental controls let you curate the libraries of up to four mini readers; view their progress; adjust age filters, and set a device bedtime”.

The Kindle Kids comes with a durable cover and a six-month Amazon Kids+ subscription for access to more than a thousand children’s titles. Amazon says the content is curated by age group, and there’s a parent dashboard to help you track their reading progress, add titles, and more. It’s said to be light enough to read one-handed, while a single charge should last up to six weeks.
