The best Amazon Prime Day deals for Kindle users, vetted by an expert

Table of Contents

I spend a lot of time reading. It’s how I like to wind down in the evenings, but I also spend a lot of time thinking about reading in the context of Kindles. As an expert on e-readers, I use the devices near daily, and am always seeking out the best ways to maximize their use. That means finding all the best ways to read for free or just creating the most luxurious reading set-up.

With Amazon’s October Prime Day now underway, my sights are set on deals for Kindle users. Amazon tends to be pretty fickle with its deals on Kindle devices — we don’t usually see a ton of markdowns on the e-readers themselves — but this year I’m shocked at how good they are.

So whether you’re new to Kindle or a longtime user, here are all of the best deals on products and services for Kindle users during Prime Big Deal Days.

Kindle Unlimited Deal

Kindle Unlimited is one of the best ways to maximize your Kindle use. If you’re running out of holds and loans on Libby, then for $11.99 a month, you can access Kindle Unlimited and borrow up to 20 books at a time. The library is massive and features bestsellers and BookTok sensations.

During Prime Day, Amazon is offering three months free, saving you $35.97. The best part is, this deal is available to new users and those who have already used their free trial. I’d already used up my free trial, but I was able to snag the trial again and am planning on using it to read Regretting You by Colleen Hoover and The Housemaid by Frieda McFadden before their upcoming movie adaptations.

Kindle Book Deals

If you want to do some book shopping during Prime Day, now’s a great time. You can find bestsellers for as low as $2, so you can grab several books for the price of one standard e-book. Not to mention, during Prime Day, you’ll earn triple Kindle Rewards on every purchase.

I’d go for classics like Barbara Kingsolver’s The Poisonwood Bible or the newly released Matriarch by Tina Knowles.

Kindle Case Deals

I’m constantly inspired by the creativity of my fellow Kindle users, decorating their e-readers extensively. A clear case seems to be the best blanket canvas for decorations, and luckily, there are a ton on sale. If you’re like me and want a case that’s already got some style, the MoKo case is a great candidate.

Kindle Stand Deals

As the colder months creep in, and you spend more time indoors under a pile of blankets, a gooseneck stand is going to maximize your winter reading nook. Since testing the Magipea gooseneck stand for a guide to the best Kindle accessories, it’s become an essential part of my reading routine. I clip the gooseneck stand onto the coffee table or nightstand, and using my page turner, I’m cozy as can be while reading my Kindle.

Right now, the Magipea gooseneck stand is on sale for Prime Day, but it’s not the only option.

Kindle Page Turner Deals

If you’re getting a stand for a Kindle, you also need a remote page turner to go with it. That way, you can keep your hands bundled up under blankets in the chilly evenings. I use the Datafy page turner, which is on sale, but you can’t really go wrong with any option.
