Amazon is selling like-new versions of its 2024 Kindles at $27 to $75 off, with prices starting at $152.99 for the Paperwhite.
The sale covers five models. Amazon's "like-new" label means pre-owned devices it has tested and certified to look and work like new. The prices:
- Paperwhite (16GB): $152.99, down from $179.99
- Paperwhite Signature Edition (32GB): $190.99, down from $224.99
- Colorsoft (16GB): $220.99, down from $260.99
- Colorsoft Signature Edition (32GB): $243.99, down from $287.99
- Scribe (16GB): $284.99, down from $359.99
All five are a generation behind. Amazon introduced redesigned Paperwhite and Colorsoft models in October, and the new Paperwhite starts at $199.99. That makes the like-new 2024 Paperwhite $47 cheaper. The 2024 Scribe was replaced by a third-generation model in December 2025.
The Scribe has the largest cut in both dollars and percentage terms, about 21 percent off. The other four sit near 15 percent. The Scribe is also the only model here with a 10.2-inch screen and a pen, so the discount matters most to people who want a notebook as much as a reader.
The step-up pricing is the more useful detail. The Paperwhite Signature Edition costs $38 more than the base Paperwhite and adds double the storage, wireless charging, an ad-free lock screen, and an automatic front light. The Colorsoft Signature Edition costs just $23 more than the standard Colorsoft. Because comics and graphic novels take up more space than text, that extra storage is easier to justify on the color models.
The Colorsoft itself costs $68 more than the Paperwhite. Its colors are more muted than a conventional tablet's, and its battery tops out at eight weeks against 12. For mostly novels, the Paperwhite is the cheaper way in.
Black Friday officially begins November 27, and sales are expected to wind down by December 2. Amazon's prices aren't always what they seem, so check a price tracker before buying to see whether these discounts are real.
