It's October now, which means spooky season and the perfect time to crack open a Stephen King novel on one of the best Kindles. And it just so happens that Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days discount event is now in full swing, and the retailer has unleashed a ton of Kindle discounts to choose from.
Right now, you can get the latest version of the Kindle Paperwhite for just $124 at Amazon. It's the best all-round device at a more wallet-friendly price — but there are a few other choice Kindle deals I've listed below.
Amazon has also brought back its deal offering 3 months of Kindle Unlimited membership for free as well. That's a saving of $36 right off the bat and the perfect way to compliment a new Kindle purchase. You can also stay right up to date with the latest updates on this 48-hour event by following our Prime Day live blog.

October Prime Day Kindle deals
Kindle accessories
These deals are likely to shift somewhat as the Prime Big Deal Days event progresses through the week. A couple of them, like the Kindle Scribe deal are "limited time" deals — which means I can't say for sure how long they'll stick around. Although, in that particular case, the Kindle Scribe has dropped cheaper during past deal events. So if you're feeling lucky, you could hold fire on that and see if a further price drop occurs.
If you simply want the most straightforward deal then the Kindle Paperwhite should be the one for you. It's got a 6-inch display that’s flush with the device, giving the e-reader a sleek and uniform look. The glare-free display is a sharp 300 ppi that’s perfect for reading novels and thanks to the LED illumination, you can read in bed without disturbing your partner.
It's also waterproof so when the summer finally rolls around and you pack up for the beach, you don't need to worry about getting it wet. The model comes with 16GB of storage, which isn't the largest spec but it's plenty enough to fill with basically a virtual library.
Of course, there are plenty of other deals on Amazon's own line of hardware and you can find the best options on our ever-evolving Prime Day hub or the aforementioned live blog.
