The first four-day Prime Day (July 8-11) starts at midnight tonight, but if you were hoping to find Kindle deals during the sale, you apparently don't need to wait. In a surprising turn of events, Amazon has already begun slashing prices on nearly all of its best Kindle e-readers, from the kid-friendly Kindle Paperwhite Kids Edition to the sophisticated Kindle Scribe. The deals are particularly impressive if you bundle the e-reader with a few useful accessories. 

Keep reading for all of my favorite discounted Kindle e-readers ahead of Prime Day 2025, and feel free to check back tomorrow to see what's new: I'll keep sharing new deals as they go live throughout the sale. As usual, most of the best deals will be exclusive to Prime members, so now's a good time to sign up if you haven't already. There's even a 30-day free trial if you're curious but not quite ready to commit.
