An e-reader lets you take an entire library of books with you wherever you go, and lets you borrow titles from your physical library as well. Kindle devices are probably the most popular (and best-selling) e-readers on the market and make great gifts for the holidays. During the July Prime Day sale, many Kindle devices dropped to the lowest prices we’ve seen yet, and the same thing happened again in October’s Prime Day deals, with great deals on almost all models. Amazon is also promoting a free trial Kindle Unlimited For new members, giving you access to a selection of around four million titles. Here are the best Amazon October Prime Day deals we can find on Kindles.
Kindle (2022)

If you’re on a limited budget (or looking for a relatively affordable gift),… Kindle Standard It is an excellent entry point to buy or sell Borrowing E-books and audiobooks. Normally priced at $100, the October sale has dropped to $75, which is $10 more than it was during July’s Prime Day. We called this the best budget option in our guide to e-readers. The latest model has seen health improvements compared to the previous generation. You now get a 300 ppi display and up to 16GB of storage, which will come in handy if you want to keep audiobooks on your device.

Right now, the price of the 8GB model is down to $95, which is $5 more than it was on the last Prime Day, but still a $45 discount on the $140 MSRP. This is the price of the ad-supported version (which displays ads for Kindle books and services on your lock screen). If you don’t want any ads on your device, you’ll pay about $20 extra.

Samsung’s updated Smart Monitor M8 is being discounted by $200 as part of an Amazon Prime Day deal
Like all bad writers, I’ve been working on a novel for The Best Part of Life Forever. I’ve tried writing on paper, I’ve tried writing on my computer, I’ve even tried writing on my phone. Maybe this smart display is what I’m missing? When it’s not connected to a PC, it turns into a smart hub that lets you stream stuff or connect to Office 365 to get some writing done in Word. Or maybe I could put half the effort I put into writing this very complex update to that novel… Great screen, though.
