Today (Friday 17th November), Amazon launched its Black Friday week sale, which means there are already hundreds of great discounts to be had across technology, toys, homeware, and more.

Among this sea of slashed prices, we’ve found a number of savings on Amazon Kindles, with discounts of up to £80.

So, what could we do but put them all together in this piece, featuring the best deals we’ve found so far?

Here, you’ll find major savings across all the many models of Kindle, and we’ve included links from multiple retailers including Very, John Lewis, and Argos – so you don’t just have to head to Amazon every time!

Plus, here at RadioTimes.com we’re a big fan of e-readers – we even have a regular best Kindle deals page that we update every month which can tell you all about the different models and versions at your disposal.

But, just to give you a brief recap here, there are five main types of Kindle: the standard 2022 model, the Paperwhite, the Scribe, the Oasis and Kids. Each of these models comes in different storage sizes and has either an ads or no ads option. To make things easier in this article, we’ll be solely focusing on the versions with ads, but know that every no ads model is around £10 to £20 more expensive.

So, off we go into a world of fiction and savings.

Should I wait until Black Friday to buy a Kindle?

Short answer: No.

Long answer: It’s true that Amazon runs regular deals on its Kindles and e-readers throughout the year, but it’s unlikely that prices will dip this low again before Christmas, and, although we still have a week to go until Black Friday, we know from experience that Amazon likes to go early on this type of deal.

So, if you’re looking to buy for a Christmas present, or your New Year's Resolution is to read more, we’d recommend buying now.
