Surprise, surprise: Another Prime Day is here. Although we only had a Prime Day sale in July, Amazon is hosting its Prime Big Deal Days event on October 8-9, ahead of the busy holiday shopping season. If you're looking for a new e-reader for yourself or your loved ones (or are already starting your holiday shopping – kudos to you), now might be the time to buy a Kindle.

If you recommend e-readers or Kindle models in any Reddit thread, you'll notice that there's a clear favorite – and that's the Kindle Paperwhite. The e-reader features 16GB of storage, an adjustable warm light, a 10-week battery life and a waterproof construction. I wish the deal was a little deeper than just $25 off, but it's worth noting that Amazon rarely discounts this model outside of sale events. So it's a semi-rare offer that you can take advantage of if you need a new e-reader.

  • Current Price: $255
  • Original price: $340

That's a pretty hot deal. Kindle is shaving $85 off its most expensive e-reader, which doubles as a note-taking and illustration device.

  • Current price: $300
  • Original price: $440

If you're looking for the Kindle Scribe and want the adapter and a leather case included with your purchase, this bundle reduces the price by $140. Draw, take notes, and annotate your favorite novels with Scribe. On deal days like Prime Day and Cyber ​​Week, I shop around for a lot of Kindle discounts, and in my opinion, this is one of those Prime Day deals that's really worth snagging.

  • Original price: $270

The international version of the Kindle Oasis is currently 50% off at Amazon, a significant deal for a device with IPX8 water resistance and a warm light setting. Read in the bath, on the beach, and on the go with this 7-inch Paperwhite display.

This Fintie case is compatible with the Kindle 11th Generation 2022 – not the Paperwhite. It comes with a credit card holder and a hand strap for easy carrying. Plus, it's a nice design. Other colors and designs are also discounted at a similar price if lilac isn't your thing.

  • Current price: $20
  • Original price: $35

For $20, you can purchase this protective fabric cover that fits over your Kindle Paperwhite. There are three colors this case is available in, but the Slate Gray colorway is on offer at the lowest price. This suitcase is foldable, lightweight and waterproof.
