Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is in full swing, and that means tons of Amazon devices have received some hefty discounts, including the Kindle. If you’ve been waiting to grab one of these top e-ink tablets, now’s the time, as chances are good you won’t see deals like these again until Prime Day. The last time prices dropped this low was during Black Friday.
Kindle Deals: New Discounts on Almost Every Version
Nearly every Kindle model is discounted, from the Paperwhite, our top pick for the best reading tablet, to the Scribe, a convenient digital notebook. Even kids’ devices are on sale, plus you can save on a bunch of Kindle bundles.
The best discount is on the Kindle Colorsoft, Amazon’s full color e-reader. It’s back to its lowest price ever, $169.99, down $80. To sweeten the deal a little further, almost all of these Kindles come with 3 months of Kindle Unlimited free for new subscribers, bringing access to millions of books and thousands of audiobooks.
Which Kindle Should I Choose?
Below, I’ve highlighted features of all the currently discounted Kindle models:
Kindle Colorsoft
The Kindle Colorsoft is the ideal option for anyone who loves reading digital comics, manga, or magazines, as it offers a full-color e-ink display, which is something you can’t find on the other Kindle models. The 7-inch size is perfect for carting around, and it still offers a weeks-long battery life for added convenience. Reading in just about any environment is a breeze, thanks to the white-to-amber adjustable backlighting.
You can also grab a Kindle Colorsoft bundle that includes a power adapter and plant-based leather cover. It’s just $17.92 more than buying the device alone, yet it’s worth $43.
Kindle Paperwhite
The Paperwhite is the best option for your typical reading needs. It just displays black-and-white text brilliantly, bringing that easy-to-read book look to a 7-inch screen. The glare-free coating and backlight make it great for reading in sunlight or late-night, while the 12-week battery life means you can wait months before worrying about charging.
The Paperwhite is down to $134.99 during the spring sale, while this isn’t its lowest price ever. It’s still $25 off the MSRP. A bundle that includes the 32GB Signature version of the Paperwhite, plus a fabric cover and wireless charging dock, is also nicely discounted if you’re looking for a few accessories.
Kindle Scribe
While you can read on the Scribe like a typical Kindle, you’ll want this device for jotting notes. It’s a 10.2-inch digital notebook that brings that pen-and-paper feel. It’s great for jumping between reading and note-taking, and can be especially beneficial to students. There’s even AI summarization built in.
Only the older model of this e-ink tablet is on sale, but the low cost outweighs the new features on the latest Scribe. In fact, it’s down to its lowest price ever on Amazon, offering $150 in savings.
Kindle Kids
Kindle Kids e-readers are also on sale for the Amazon Spring Sale. These are essentially the same Kindle devices but with special kid-friendly features, like parental controls and covers. For the first time, the Kindle Colorsoft is also now available for kids, making illustrations really come to life.
Kindle
Now, the classic Kindle is technically not part of the Amazon Big Spring Sale, but it’s still $15 off. That’s not the lowest price we’ve seen, but it’s still solid savings. This device essentially offers most of the features of the Paperwhite, but the display is only 6 inches.
