None of the 8 Kindle prices we track is cheaper than in early November yet. We'll flag real discounts here as soon as prices drop. How we check.
Black Friday Kindle deals on the Kindle 16GB, Kindle Paperwhite, Paperwhite Signature Edition, Kindle Colorsoft and Kindle Scribe from Amazon and other UK retailers. Each one is compared with the lowest price we logged for it in early November.
Kindles are often discounted around big sales, so a lower price than usual is not always a Black Friday special. Check our verdict, and compare the same version: with or without ads, storage size and any bundled cover all change the price.
The basic Kindle is enough for most readers; the Paperwhite adds a bigger screen and waterproofing. The Colorsoft shows colour for comics and cookbooks, and the Scribe adds a pen for notes. Check whether the price is for the version with or without ads on the lock screen.
Amazon releases new Kindle generations every few years, and older stock can stay on sale alongside the latest version. Check the product title or description for the generation or release year so you know which model you are buying. Kindle Unlimited trials are sometimes included with a purchase; they can be useful, but remember to cancel if you do not want to pay afterwards.
Because Kindles are discounted at several points through the year, the "was" price shown in a listing is not always a useful guide. Our verdict compares each deal with the lowest price we logged in early November, so you can see whether the Black Friday price is genuinely lower. If the Kindle you want shows a "Real discount", it is a reasonable time to buy. Read how we check prices for the details.
Amazon has not announced its 2026 Black Friday Week yet. Last year it ran from 20 November to 1 December and included its own devices such as Kindle; we'll update this line when dates are set.
See the saleArgos started its Black Friday sale on 30 October, with more deals expected. Kindle devices with its price guarantee badge are promised not to drop further before Christmas.
See the saleCurrys' Black Friday sale has been live since 28 October and is reported to run to 1 December. Its price promise matches a cheaper UK retailer on Kindle up to 7 days after you buy.
See the saleJohn Lewis has not confirmed its 2026 Black Friday start date, but tech deals are already live. Its Price Promise matches 25 named retailers on Kindle devices, even during Black Friday.
See the saleVery's Black Friday sale is live from 2 November to 4 December 2026; Kindle deals are covered by its Black Friday Price Promise if the price drops again.
See the saleSome are and some are not. We compare every deal with the lowest price we logged for it in the reference week, 8 to 14 November. Deals at least 5% below that price get the "Real discount" label in the tables above; others show as "Same as early Nov" or "Pricier than early Nov", so you can see at a glance which offers are genuine.
The Paperwhite has a larger screen, warm light and waterproofing, which helps if you read in the bath or by the pool. The basic Kindle is lighter, smaller and cheaper, and is enough for most people who mainly read novels. Compare the price gap in our table once both are on sale.
Some Kindles show offers on the lock screen while the device is asleep, not inside your books. The version without ads costs a little more. When comparing deals, make sure both prices are for the same version, as a cheap listing is often the ad-supported one.
It is if you read comics, graphic novels, cookbooks or magazines, where colour adds something. For mostly text-based novels, a Paperwhite gives a similar reading experience for less. Check our verdict on both, as the price gap between them can change during the sales.
Kindle deals often run across both days, from before Black Friday until Cyber Monday on 30 November {year}, but prices can change during that time. If the Kindle you want already shows a "Real discount" verdict, it is usually sensible to buy rather than wait for a slightly lower price.
Yes. A Kindle can be set up on the recipient's own Amazon account when they first turn it on, or reset if it was linked to yours. If you order from Amazon, check whether there is an option to mark it as a gift so it is not registered to your account. Check the returns policy too in case it is not right.
