Plot twist: Prime Day is over, but these Kindle deals aren’t
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days are now in the past, but if you’re a procrastinator, you’re in luck: some deals haven’t gone anywhere.
Some of the best deals, even, are still available to shop now, including a few on Amazon Kindle e-readers.
Remember, you’ll need to be an Amazon Prime member to take advantage of these deals, but you can sign up for 30 days free before committing to a paid membership.

Best Amazon Prime Day Kindle deals
Amazon Kindle Kids
The Amazon Kindle kids edition is your basic Kindle and then some, and it’s not just for kids. It’s just the basic Kindle model with a fun (and removable!) kid-friendly case and a six-month subscription to Amazon Kids+, which will give little ones unlimited access to appropriate chapter books and more.
Another highlight of the Kids Edition is the two-year warranty: if it breaks, Amazon will replace it for free.
Screen size: 7-inches | Colors: Space Whale, Ocean Explorer, Unicorn Valley | Storage: 16 GB | Battery life: Up to 6 weeks
Kindle Paperwhite Kids
There’s nothing different about the actual device here at all; it is literally just the black Kindle Paperwhite in a fun case (that you can take off and never look at again, if you don’t want to). It has the same 7-inch anti-glare screen, long battery life, and fast page turns that make the Paperwhite one of the best e-readers.
Screen size: 7-inches | Colors: Cyber City, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Starfish | Storage: 16 GB | Battery life: Up to 12 weeks
Kindle Colorsoft Kids
Just like the other kids’ models, this Kids Colorsoft is the basic Colorsoft model in a fun, but completely removable case, with an optional Kindle Kids subscription and that same great two-year warranty.
Screen size: 7-inches | Colors: Fantasy River, Twilight Reading | Storage: 16 GB | Battery life: Up to 8 weeks
Amazon Kindle Scribe
The Kindle Scribe is Amazon’s first e-reader that combines reading with writing, allowing users to take handwritten notes directly on the screen. It features an extra-large 10.2-inch Paperwhite display and comes with a Basic Pen for a natural writing experience. Ideal for both readers and note-takers, it supports annotation in books and organization of notebooks, journals, and PDFs. Right now, you can save on the older model, as a new one was just released.
Screen size: 10.2-inches | Colors: Black, Metallic Jade | Storage: 64 GB | Battery life: Up to 12 weeks
Best Kindle Unlimited Prime Day deal
Kindle Unlimited subscription
Kindle Unlimited’s library is made up of over four million titles, per Amazon, and we’ve found that there seems to be a particular emphasis on romance novels and thrillers. Right now, Prime members can take advantage of a free trial.
Kindle Unlimited’s catalog changes often, and once you borrow a book, it stays in your library until you return it — even if that book is no longer available to borrow on Kindle Unlimited. We recommend borrowing books as soon as you see them, even if you don’t plan on reading them right away, because you never know when they might disappear from the service.

What is Prime Big Deal Days?
This annual Amazon sale — which we like to call October Prime Day — is similar to the well-known July event: it’s a two-day blow out shopping event with deep discounts on bestsellers and everyday essentials. But the timing of this sale makes all the difference; shoppers can also score pre-Black Friday deals on top-rated toys and sell-out-risk gifts before the holiday rush.

Amazon’s fall Prime Day event only lasts two days. This sale starts on Tuesday October 7 at 12:01 a.m. PT and runs through Wednesday October 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
When does Prime Big Deal Days end?
Prime Big Deal Days 2025 ends on Wednesday October 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT, so east-coasters have until about 3 a.m. on October 9 their time to shop the deals.

Prime Day vs. Prime Big Deal Days: What’s the difference?
