Amazon’s Spring Sale Features Top Kindle E-Readers at Deep Discounts.
Typically, the best time to buy any Amazon device, from Blink video doorbells to Echo smart speakers , is during one of the mega-retailer’s semi-annual sales, and the current Big Spring Sale is no exception. This, of course, means now is the perfect time to buy a Kindle e-reader. While these aren’t the lowest prices these devices will likely reach in 2026, this is your best chance to score a decent discount without waiting for Prime Day this summer or Black Friday this fall.
While most Kindle models are discounted by at least 15% (including the Kindle Paperwhite with ads and Kindle Kids ), this year Amazon is offering the biggest discounts on its more expensive models. For an extra $25 on top of the standard Paperwhite, you can upgrade to the Signature Edition and get double the storage, automatically adjustable backlighting, and wireless charging—or spend an extra $10 and get the Kindle Colorsoft for a better experience with comics, cookbooks, and other image-rich texts. Here are the best deals on Kindle devices during the Big Spring Sale.
The basic 16GB Kindle model is 14% off.
The entry-level, ad-supported Kindle e-reader remains an excellent reading device, with a crisp 300 ppi screen and backlight for easy reading anywhere. It’s now priced at $95, down from the usual $110.
The Kindle Kids bundle is on sale at a 15% discount.
If you have small children—or even if you don’t— the Kindle Kids bundle is a great option. It’s the same device as the base Kindle, but without the ads, and comes with a cute case and Amazon’s promise to replace it if it breaks. It’s currently priced at $110, $20 off the regular price.
The Kindle Paperwhite e-reader is on sale at a 16% discount.
This ad-supported Kindle Paperwhite offers 16GB of storage, temperature-controlled screen backlighting, and up to 12 weeks of battery life. It’s priced at $135, down from the regular price of $160.
The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition e-reader is on sale at a 20% discount.
Get the Paperwhite Signature Edition and you’ll get 32GB of storage, wireless charging, a sensor that automatically adjusts lighting, and, of course, no ads on the lock screen. You can choose black, pink, or green for $160 instead of the usual $200.
The Kindle Colorsoft e-reader costs only $10 more.
If you read a lot of comics or photo books, or even if you just enjoy seeing covers in color, the Kindle Colorsoft has the best color e-ink display money can buy. It’s currently just $10 more than the Signature Edition and offers 16GB of storage, adjustable color temperature backlighting, and no ads for $170.
The previous generation Kindle Scribe is available for $150 off.
If you’re looking for a convenient digital notebook for taking notes or jotting down notes, the Kindle Scribe is a good choice, especially if you’re fully committed to the Amazon ecosystem. The 2024 version, featuring the improved Premium Pen stylus and 16GB of storage, is currently priced at $250, a 38% discount from the regular price of $400.
