Amazon's October Prime Day sale takes $46 to $150 off Kindles and e-readers, and the discounts expire tonight.
The Kindle Paperwhite (2024) drops to $149.99 from $199.99, the base 16GB Kindle falls to $103.99 from $149.99, and the Kindle Colorsoft is $189.99 instead of $289.99. The Kindle Scribe and Kindle Scribe Colorsoft are marked down to $379.99 and $479.99, each $120 to $150 off their list prices. Buyers who'd rather skip Amazon's ecosystem can get the Viwoods AiPaper Reader for $223.99 or Xteink's pocket e-readers for $58.65 and $69.99.
The timing matters because Amazon recently raised list prices on nearly every Kindle by $50 or more, citing an ongoing RAM shortage. We can't say exactly what these models cost before that hike, but for one night, Prime Day's discounts claw back a meaningful chunk of that increase - without anyone confirming the shortage story is the whole explanation.
If you've been holding off on a Kindle, tonight's sale is the best shot you'll get until the next one - whenever that turns out to be.
