It’s a good time to be shopping for Kindles. Both of the Amazon Kindle Kids are at their lowest price, and now, the most affordable Amazon Kindle is just $89.99 (originally $109.99), including the newest Match color, which has never dropped to this price before. These deals on used Kindles usually sell out fast, so get one sooner rather than later if you’re interested.

The Amazon Kindle is the most basic reading tablet from Amazon, and it’s the cheapest you can buy, especially after the recent discount. This is the latest model from 2024 that overtook the 2022 model, but there aren’t a lot of improvements, according to PCMag’s “good” review. This model gets brighter than older versions, but keeps most of the same old features and specs. You get a 6-inch screen in a slim 5.56 oz design, but there is no waterproofing, no warm light, and the processing is slower than other higher-end models. If you want an ad-free experience with the best features Kindle readers can offer, get the Signature Edition. But you’ll be paying more than double for it.

If you’re not sure if this is the right Kindle for you, you can see if the Colorsoft version is a better fit. We also have a breakdown of every kind of Kindle to help you decide. If you already own the 2022 version, there might not be enough here to warrant an upgrade, unless you just want the latest Amazon has to offer. However, any devices older than that may be worth an upgrade for features like Bluetooth compatibility, which is great for audiobooks.

The screen features a 300 ppi (pixels per inch) display with 94 nits of brightness. I love the amount that you can fit thousands of e-books and the absurdly long battery life. This one is estimated at up to six weeks on a single charge, depending on your use and brightness settings.
