This year's Black Friday sales are already underway, but we're still waiting for the first Kindle deals to drop. Amazon and other retailers usually hold off until nearer the main event, which falls on November 28 this year, so we're here to bring you all the latest info and buying advice to ensure you get a great offer on the popular ereaders as soon as they go live.

Black Friday Kindle deals: FAQs
When will the Black Friday Kindle deals start in 2025?
Black Friday 2025 itself will start on November 28, but you can expect deals to arrive well in advance of that. Some are live already at several retailers, and we expect more deals will continue to drop over the next couple of weeks.
Kindle deals will likely happen closer to Black Friday proper, but do keep a lookout for discounts on Kindle bundles before then. We'll be flagging the deals on this page, so do check in regularly.
Is Black Friday the best time to buy a Kindle?
Not quite. The very best time to buy a discount Kindle is during Amazon's Prime Day or Prime Big Deal Days sales event, which usually take place in July and October, respectively. However, Black Friday is still a great time to grab a discounted Kindle, as the prices are not far off what we see during Amazon's dedicated sale.
What Black Friday Kindle deals should I expect?
You can expect price cuts on most Kindle models this Black Friday. Whether you want the affordable and capable standard Kindle, the water-resistant Kindle Paperwhite, or the big and feature-packed Kindle Scribe, I'm fairly confident that all should receive at least a small discount.
The Kindle Oasis, Amazon's most premium Kindle ereader, and the latest Kindle Colorsoft, probably won't get as big a price cut, considering the higher starting price, but we still expect some offers this year.
Amazon also loves bundles, so we will probably see Kindles bundled with free covers, as well as offers for Amazon's reading services, Kindle Unlimited and Kindle Kids.
Amazon is always the best place to start your Black Friday Kindle deals shopping, but it isn't the only place to find a Kindle deal. Kindle ereaders aren't available everywhere, but the likes of Best Buy, Target and Argos sell them and often cut prices to compete with whatever deal Amazon is running.
