When the big shopping events like Prime Day and Black Friday come around, our sights are set on our favorite tech. It’s often the only time when they’re guaranteed to get a discount. My favorite gadgets? Kindles. It’s part of my job to test e-readers, but outside of work hours, you’ll still find me and my Kindle attached at the hip.
But the thing with Kindles is that they rarely go on sale. Sure, there’s the occasional random discount throughout the year, but the best guaranteed price is almost always going to be during Prime Day or Black Friday. So as we look forward to Black Friday, which falls on Friday, Nov. 28, we’re already hunting down the best Kindle deals.
Already, I’ve found quite a few decent deals, but none so far on new Kindle devices. Instead, Amazon is discounting like-new, certified refurbished e-readers from the latest generation of Kindles. Plus, I’ve found deals on some of my favorite Kindle accessories. Keep checking back, as I’ll be adding the best Black Friday Kindle deals now through Cyber Monday.

Why we like it
The Kindle Paperwhite is the best Kindle. It has everything you want in an e-reader — adjustable brightness and warmth, a quick processor, and intuitive UX. It’s the total package, and right now you can find a like-new version for $106.99. New and full-price, the Kindle Paperwhite is typically $159.99, and even refurbished versions are usually $143.99. These devices are certified refurbished by Amazon, so you know they’re tested, reliable, and truly like-new. Amazon also has discounts on like-new Paperwhite Signature Editions and Scribes.

A remote page-turner for cozy nights
Why we like it
I let the TikTok girlies convince me that I needed a remote control page turner and… they were right. This page turner works by gently tapping the screen of your Kindle when you click on the remote. Paired with a gooseneck stand, it’s created the coziest possible setup so I can keep my hands warm under the blankets but still get to the next page in my book. I don’t usually like recommending products from random Amazon brands, but the Datafy remote control page turner has worked great for me over the past few months. Ahead of Black Friday, it’s just $15.99 — that’s $4 off its $19.99 price tag.

A gooseneck stand to complete your reading nook
Why we like it
If you want to use your remote control page turner, then you’ll need a way to prop up your Kindle. I use this gooseneck stand by Magipea. It’s super easy to use, able to clamp onto tables of any thickness. It holds Kindles securely, too, no budging if you move or bump into it. It’s down to $16.12 ahead of Black Friday, saving you 46% off and $13.87.
I found plenty more Kindle stands on sale, including one that doubles as a snack tray.

A case and PopSockets to avoid hand strain
Why we like them
My favorite Kindle case is one paired with a PopSockets phone grip. If you’re using a grip on your phone, you should definitely be using one on your e-reader. A clear case is suitable for both the minimalists or the creatives who want to customize it themselves. Right now, you can grab each on sale, and while I had to hunt to find these savings, as we get closer to Black Friday, I expect savings on Kindle cases to explode.

Books for under $2
Why we like it
Most of the time, I prefer not to buy books for my Kindle and instead borrow books through Libby. But if I do buy a Kindle book, it’s usually because it’s under $2. Amazon is always dropping prices on books, and you can often find prize-winning and bestselling titles for $2 or less. That’s definitely the case right now, as you can find acclaimed books like Trust by Hernan Diaz or The Message by Ta-Nehisi Coates.
More early Black Friday Kindle book deals
Again, keep checking back! We expect the best Black Friday Kindle deals to land on Nov. 20, when Amazon’s official Black Friday sale begins. In the meantime, there are plenty more early Black Friday deals you can shop right away.
