Black Friday Kindle deals are live, and these are the best I've seen so far

The Kindle (2024) is on sale for the first time, and it’s an excellent device for readers on the go. It’s the lightest and most compact Kindle yet, weighing just 5.56 oz. It has a bright, glare-free 6-inch display and is extremely comfortable to hold. However, there’s no waterproofing, so if you want that feature you’ll have to upgrade to the Kindle Paperwhite.

The Kids edition of the Kindle is the same thin, light and compact device with a few extras. For starters, it comes ad-free as standard. You also get a 6-month subscription to Amazon Kids Plus, which gets you access to a library of kid-friendly books at no additional cost. And finally, it’s covered with a 2-year warranty, meaning Amazon will replace it if it breaks.

This Amazon e-reader takes the top spot on our list of the best Kindles. In our Kindle Paperwhite (2024) review, we said this device “improves on its predecessor’s already amazing design,” and praised its large, bright display, 12-week battery life and adjustable backlight. It’s also waterproof, so you can take it poolside.

This is the Kids edition of our favorite Kindle. This excellent device has a 7-inch glare free device with an adjustable backlight, for the most comfortable reading experience possible. You also get a 6 month subscription to Amazon Kids Plus, providing access to a huge library of kid-friendly books, and a worry-free guarantee that means Amazon will replace it if it breaks. It’s even waterproof, so no need to worry if it makes a splash.

The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is now on sale. The non-Signature Kindle Paperwhite (2024) tops our list of the best Kindles, and while ultimately we think that version is better value, the Signature Edition includes a few nice extra features. You get no ads as standard, 32GB of storage, and wireless charging. There’s also a light sensor, which means brightness can be adjusted automatically depending on the environment you’re reading in.
