The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is our new Best Kindle pick and it’s already on sale for Black Friday

I wasn’t sure we’d see great Black Friday Kindle deals since the latest 2024 batch of Amazon Kindle e-readers was only released in mid-October. Not only are most of the new Kindle devices on sale, but my favorite of the bunch and our new pick for the Best Kindle, the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, got a great price cut that makes it a perfect holiday gift for the reader in your life.

I’ve seen all of the new Kindle tablets and I just reviewed the Paperwhite Signature Edition, and while it isn’t a major improvement over previous Kindle tablets, it’s a satisfying e-reader that manages to move faster than before, while getting a bit brighter and easier to read. I also loved the extra-long battery life, and the Paperwhite Signature remains durable enough to read at the beach or in the tub.

Why spring for the Signature Edition? You get twice the storage, 32GB inside, which is great if you also listen to audiobooks. My Audible library is just as long as my Kindle library, so I like having extra room. You also don’t need to consider lockscreen ads on the Signature Edition, and I think it’s nicer to see my book covers when my screen is locked.

The Signature Edition also has wireless charging, and Amazon offers some simple and elegant charging stands to prop your Kindle Paperwhite next to the bed and keep it charged. You can get 12 weeks of reading if you’re a casual, half-hour a day reader, but if books are your hobby, you want to charge more often.

The only Kindle that I’d consider for reading is the Kindle Colorsoft, but unfortunately Amazon’s new color Kindle isn’t on sale for Black Friday. I’m sure it will get a discount eventually: every Amazon product gets a price cut in due time. Unless you must have color on your Kindle now, I’d wait until it drops in price.

If the Signature Edition is a bit too much, never fear, because every black and white Kindle is on sale right now. The base model Kindle Paperwhite is also a great Kindle with excellent performance thanks to the new processor inside.

The basic 6-inch Kindle is also on sale, or you can splurge on the Kindle Scribe from 2022. There’s a newer Kindle Scribe coming next week, but the older model is still an excellent large-screen e-reader with great writing features for journaling and taking notes.
