The latest Kindle e-readers also serve as an audiobook and podcast player when you pair it with wireless headphones or earbuds.

The best Labor Day 2024 deals on Amazon Kindles
Whether you want to catch up on your reading on vacation, or just enjoy bestselling novels from your favorite authors before bed, the time is right to upgrade to one of the latest Amazon Kindle readers. Here are some of the best Kindle deals we’ve found that are available right now.
Amazon Kindle (2022 edition): $85 (15% off)
Amazon
The 2022 Amazon Kindle is the lightest and most compact model from the brand. It features a 300 ppi high-resolution display for crisp, clear text and images, offering a glare-free, paper-like reading experience with an adjustable front light and a dark mode for comfortable reading both day and night.
With a USB-C rechargeable battery that lasts up to six weeks on a single charge, this Kindle also boasts 16GB of storage, double the capacity of previous models, allowing you to store thousands of books.
You can choose between a version with ads on the lock screen or an ad-free option for a slightly higher price, catering to different user preferences.
The 2022 Kindle is just $85 for a limited time. That’s 15% off its normal price.
Amazon Kindle Scribe Essentials bundle: $430 (12% off)
Amazon
Featuring a 10.2-inch Paperwhite display that can be seen in any lighting situation, plus a battery life that lasts for weeks, the Kindle Scribe stands out from the rest of the Kindle lineup. In addition to serving as a full-featured e-reader and audiobook/podcast player, it comes with a pen-shaped stylus and serves as a digital notepad.
Using the Kindle Scribe, you can create as many custom-named virtual notebooks as you’d like. Each notebook can have any number of pages. And on each page, you can handwrite or draw whatever content you choose. Your handwritten notes can also be converted to editable text. Plus, it’s possible to email PDF files directly to your Kindle Scribe to view and annotate them. Or, files can be sent between your Kindle Scribe and Microsoft Word (via your Microsoft 365 account, if you’re a subscriber to this service).
This version of the Scribe comes with 16GB of internal storage and a three-month trial to the Kindle Unlimited service. It also comes with Amazon’s Basic Pen stylus. For a bit more money, a 32GB or 64GB version of the Scribe is available with the Basic Pen or Amazon Premium Pen stylus.
You can get the Kindle Scribe as part of a bundle with a premium pen, leather folio cover and a power adapter for just $430, which is 12% off its normal price.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition Essentials Bundle: $227 (14% off)
Amazon
Out of all the Amazon Kindle e-readers, this one is the most convenient and comfortable to use. It’s thin, lightweight, extremely portable and waterproof (IPX8 rated). It also uses a Paperwhite display and has a battery that lasts for up to 10 weeks between charges.
Like all Kindle devices, this one connects to the internet via Wi-Fi, so you can download e-books, audiobooks, podcasts and other compatible content directly to the e-reader. The device comes with 32GB of storage, which is enough to hold thousands of e-books or hundreds of audiobooks.
In our coverage of the five best e-readers for 2024, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is our top pick. This is the model we highly recommend to most readers.
This bundle includes a Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, an Amazon leather cover, and a wireless charging dock, all for $227. That’s 7% off its normal price.
Amazon Kindle Essentials Bundle: $155 (8% off)
Amazon
Amazon’s Kindle e-reader is the most basic model in the lineup. It offers a glare-free, 6-inch e-ink display, has a rechargeable battery that lasts for up to six weeks and includes 16GB of storage. Instead of using 17 LEDs to brighten the display when reading in dimly lit or dark areas, this Kindle uses just four LEDs. It’s also not waterproof.
It’s a scaled-down version of the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition that still works as a full-featured e-reader or audiobook/podcast player. It measures 4.3 x 6.2 x 0.32 inches and weighs just 5.56 ounces.
There are two versions of the Amazon Kindle. One that includes ads that get displayed on the e-reader’s lock screen when it’s not being used and one that’s a bit more expensive, but that offers an ad-free experience. A three-month trial subscription to Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited service is included.
You can get the Kindle Essentials bundle for just $155, and it includes the Kindle itself, a fabric cover and a power adapter for just $155, which is 8% off its usual price.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Kids: $135 (21% off)
Amazon
There are currently two versions of the Kindle that cater specifically to kids. This one features a Paperwhite display and is a bit more expensive. However, the glare-free screen is easier on the eyes and allows it to be easily viewed in any lighting situation. This e-reader has a 6.8-inch screen and a battery that lasts for up to 10 weeks.
Several things set the Kindle Paperwhite Kids apart from the other models. This device offers an ad-free experience. It also comes with a one-year subscription to the Amazon Kids+ service, which offers a vast library of e-books, audiobooks and other content that’s age-appropriate and curated specifically for a younger audience. (At the end of one year, the Amazon Kids+ subscription can be extended for $5.99 per month.)
The device is also waterproof and comes with a two-year worry-free guarantee, so if the e-reader breaks during this period, Amazon will repair or replace it for free. This kid-friendly e-reader also comes with a free protective and colorful cover.
Other features this kid-friendly version of the Kindle offers include integrated tools for young readers, such as a vocabulary builder. It also comes preinstalled with the OpenDyslexia font, which makes it easier for some people with dyslexia to read text on the screen.
You can get the Kindle Paperwhite Kids for just $135 this Labor Day, which is 21% off its normal price.
Amazon Kindle Kids bundle: $95 (21% off)
Amazon
The 2022 Kindle Kids e-reader is specifically designed to promote reading by eliminating distractions like games, videos and ads. It features a lightweight and compact design with an adjustable front light for comfortable reading day or night.
This model boasts a high-resolution display, increased storage capacity and an extended battery life of up to six weeks on a single charge, allowing kids to enjoy their favorite books without interruption.
This package comes with a cover, a one-year subscription to Amazon Kids+ (which provides access to a wide range of kid-friendly books and audiobooks) and a two-year warranty.
You can buy the Kindle Kids, which comes with a Space Whale kids’ cover for just $95 this Labor Day, reduced from $120. It comes with a two-year replacement guarantee.,
How to get an extra 20% off any Amazon Kindle
If you have an old e-reader or another eligible device, even if it’s not functional, you can trade it in when purchasing any new Amazon Kindle e-reader. In addition to receiving an Amazon gift card for the appraised value of your old device, Amazon will give you an instant 20% off on the purchase of whichever new Kindle model you select. Of course, certain trade-in terms and conditions apply.
What is the best Amazon Kindle?
While many e-readers look the same from the outside, it’s the technology inside — display, internal storage, and other capabilities — that set each of them apart. Here’s what to look for when choosing an e-reader that’ll best meet your needs, reading habits and budget.
- Display size: This determines how much on-screen real estate you have to read e-books and perform other tasks when using the e-reader.
- Display type: All of the e-readers in this roundup feature an e-ink or Paperwhite display. All are glare-resistant, so they can be viewed in any lighting situation, including direct sunlight. These displays use very little battery power, so the battery life of a typical e-reader is upwards of six to 10 weeks, not mere hours (like what you’d experience using a traditional tablet). The goal of an e-ink or Paperwhite display is to showcase text in a way that replicates the printed pages from a traditional book as closely as possible. Another benefit of these displays is that they’re much easier on the eyes, so they don’t cause eye strain or fatigue during extended reading sessions.
- Internal storage: This determines how many e-books, audiobooks and other files you can store within the device. Even e-readers with just 16GB of storage can hold thousands of e-books or hundreds of audiobooks. However, if you’re using an e-reader that also serves as a digital notepad, like the Scribe, you’ll want more storage for all of your notes and related files.
- Audiobook and podcast playing: All of the e-readers in this roundup can play audiobooks and podcasts. Since these devices don’t have built-in speakers, you’ll need to pair wireless, noise-canceling headphones or earbuds with your e-reader.
- Note-taking and other features: Some e-readers, like the Kindle Scribe, can be used as a digital notebook. This means you can handwrite or draw directly on the device’s display using a pen-shaped stylus. These e-readers also support cloud-based services, so you can automatically sync or backup your notes in the cloud, share them with your computer(s) and mobile devices, or share them with other people.
- Durability and waterproof rating: While many of the best e-readers are waterproof, meaning you can read in the bathtub, at the pool, or the beach and not have to worry about damaging the device if it gets wet, this is not the case for all of these devices. And while they’re designed to be rather durable, to protect your e-reader’s display when it’s being stored or transported, we highly recommend purchasing an optional case or cover for the device.
- E-book and content selection: Every e-reader gives you easy access to one or more online e-bookstores. Most of these e-bookstores also have a subscription service. For a flat monthly fee, you get unlimited access to a vast library of e-books and audiobooks. But keep in mind that most e-readers are compatible with Overdrive’s Libby service, which allows you to borrow e-books and audiobooks from your local public library for free.
- Physical Size and Weight: Some popular e-readers, like the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature edition, are designed to be about the same size and weight as a traditional paperback. The e-readers that can also serve as digital notepads are a bit larger to provide plenty of writing space. The physical size and weight of the e-reader determine how comfortable it is to hold in your hands.
Is Kindle Unlimited worth it?
Amazon
Amazon Kindle Unlimited is a subscription service that costs $11.99 per month. With an active subscription, you get unlimited access to more than four million e-book titles, including bestsellers, popular series, classics and more. You also get access to thousands of audiobooks and hundreds of magazines that you can access anywhere and anytime using your Kindle e-reader or the Kindle app running on your computer or mobile device.
All new Kindle purchases come with a three-month trial subscription to Kindle Unlimited. After the trial, you can cancel the subscription or continue it by agreeing to the membership (which you can cancel at any time). While you’re a member, you can store content acquired from the Kindle Unlimited service on your e-reader for offline access. However once your subscription is canceled, all of this content will automatically get erased.
Meanwhile, if you prefer to purchase e-books one at a time from the Kindle e-book store, but want an audiobook subscription that’ll save you some cash, consider signing up for Audible. This service allows you to select one audiobook per month that you own outright, plus grants you unlimited access to an ever-expanding library of free audiobooks, podcasts and other audio content while you’re an active subscriber — all for $14.95 per month (after a free three-month trial for Prime members).
Since Audible is an Amazon-owned company, all audio content from Audible is compatible with the latest Kindle e-readers. You’ll just need to pair wireless headphones or earbuds with the e-reader to hear the audio content.

Sling TV: Save 50% and stream college football
If you don’t have cable TV that includes CBS, one of the most cost-effective ways to stream college football this season is through a subscription to Sling TV. We suggest leveling up your coverage to the Orange + Blue with Sports Extra tier to get more NFL and college football games this fall.
The Orange + Blue plan regularly costs $60 per month, but the streamer currently offers a 50% off promotion for your first month, so you’ll pay just $30. The Orange + Blue with Sports Extra plan is $45 for your first month and $75 per month after. The Sports Extra add-on features 18 channels, including NFL Redzone, ESPNU, SEC Network, Big 10 Network and ACC Network, making it ideal for pro and college football fans.
The streamer is also currently offering big savings on four months of the Orange + Blue tier plus the Sports Extra plan when you prepay for the Sling TV Season Pass. The plan costs $219, reduced from $300.
Note: Because Sling TV does not carry CBS, Sling subscribers will want to add Paramount+ to their bundle. The Sling + Paramount+ still offers the most cost-effective way to stream NFL games airing on network TV. (Paramount+ and CBS Essentials are both subsidiaries of Paramount Global.)
Top features of Sling TV Orange + Blue plan:
- Sling TV is our top choice for streaming major sporting events like NASCAR.

Watch today’s game with a digital HDTV antenna
Amazon
You can also watch sports airing on network TV with an affordable indoor antenna, which pulls in local over-the-air HDTV channels such as CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, PBS, Univision and more. Here’s the kicker: There’s no monthly charge.
For anyone living in a partially blocked-off area (those near mountains or first-floor apartments), a digital TV antenna may not pick up a good signal — or any signal at all. But for many homes, a digital TV antenna provides a seriously inexpensive way to watch sports without paying a cable company. Indoor TV antennas can also provide some much-needed TV backup if a storm knocks out your cable.
This ultra-thin, multi-directional digital antenna with a 65-mile range can receive hundreds of HD TV channels, including ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, Fox, and Univision and can filter out cellular and FM signals. It delivers a high-quality picture in 1080p HDTV, top-tier sound and features a 12-foot digital coax cable.
If you’re anxiously waiting for today’s game to begin, now is a great time to check out Amazon’s college football fan shop. The Amazon College Fan Shop is filled to the brim with officially licensed fan gear: You’ll find jerseys, team flags, T-shirts, hoodies and more, including tons of great gear for the football fan in your life.
