The busiest deals days of the year, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, have come and gone. But if you’re looking to buy a Kindle as a gift or for yourself ahead of the holiday season, you can still find some discounts on Amazon’s e-reader available. Whether you use a Kindle for on the go novel reading, making a dent in your magazine subscriptions, or consolidating space by packing thousands of titles within one compact device, Kindle e-readers are portable reading powerhouses — and they’re easily pocketable (mine actually fits in my jacket pocket). And if you are interested in buying one ahead of the holidays, Cyber Monday could be the last time to take advantage of the discounts before the e-readers go back to their original price.

Cyber Monday is on Nov. 27 this year, and many of your favorite retailers, like Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart, are slicing their prices on products during the day of deals. While Cyber Monday technically takes place on Nov. 27, many big retailers run deals throughout the month. Amazon’s deals, for example, begin on Nov. 17 through Nov. 27.
ZDNET only writes about deals we want to buy — devices and products we desire, need, or would recommend. Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops.
We also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we’re recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing — in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.
ZDNET’s top pick for the best Kindle e-reader is the Kindle Paperwhite thanks to its outstanding battery life, waterproof body, and ease of use. It also has a 6-week battery life.
Plus, the Kindle Paperwhite is waterproof up to 2 meters for 1 hour in freshwater or .25 meters for three minutes in saltwater. This means you won’t have to worry about spills and splashes while reading at the beach or by the pool.
