Best Buy slashes prices on nearly every Kindle model

If you have been waiting for the right moment to buy a Kindle, that moment has arrived. Best Buy’s Black Friday in July sale has brought the Kindle Paperwhite back to its lowest price ever: $124.99, a savings of $35. This model remains the top recommendation for most readers thanks to a compelling mix of features. It is waterproof, sports a sharp 300ppi, 7-inch display, and includes an adjustable warm light for comfortable nighttime reading. The battery life is also a standout, often lasting more than a month on a single charge.

The discounts extend across nearly the entire Kindle lineup. The Kindle Kids edition, surprisingly a solid value for adults, is now $99.99 (a $30 discount). Beyond the standard Kindle hardware, it adds a kid-friendly cover, an ad-free experience, a two-year worry-free guarantee, and six months of Amazon Kids Plus. For comic book fans, the Kindle Colorsoft is available starting at $159.99, which is $90 off. It retains the Paperwhite’s core strengths but introduces a color E Ink display capable of showing color at up to 150ppi. The Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition, with 32GB of storage and wireless charging, is priced at $219.99, saving you $60.

Shoppers interested in a device that functions as both an e-reader and a digital notebook should examine the Kindle Scribe and Kindle Scribe Colorsoft. The standard Scribe starts at $379.99 ($120 off), while the Colorsoft version is $479.99 ($150 off). Both feature an 11-inch display and come with a stylus for writing notes, annotating books, and marking up documents. They also include notebook templates and AI-powered tools that can summarize notes or clean up messy handwriting. The primary difference is that the Scribe Colorsoft uses a color E Ink screen, making it ideal for reviewing color documents or color-coding notes.
