Once announced, Kindle deals don’t change until Black Friday or beyond. Get the 6.8-inch Paperwhite for $95, and Kindle 11 for $85. Save $40 if you buy two Kindle Scribes.
We have tracked Black Friday Kindle prices since 2016. The rule is that when a deal price for a certain model is applied, it doesn’t change.
In other words, you won’t see a lower price during Black Friday weekend than it is today. There is no need to wait.
Amazon reveals Black Friday deals for Kindle models and bundles usually during a weekend preceding Black Friday. And here is another rule: only some models are featured.
Black Friday 2022 deals for Kindle have just been added to Amazon Device Deals. And two models are featured so far: Kindle Paperwhite 5 and Kindle Oasis 3.
What about deals on Kindle 11 and Kindle Scribe 1 – the newest models announced this year?
Updated on November 24, 2022: The deal for the newest Kindle 11 has just been revealed. The price is down from $99.99 to $84.99 for the variant with lockscreen ads.
When it comes to Kindle Scribe 1, there will be no deal at all. It’s because the newest 10.2-inch reading & writing machine will start shipping on November 30. Never before the product in the pre-order phase was offered for a reduced price. However, you can still save $80 on Kindle Scribe without any price deal.
Updated on November 25, 2022: There is no price deal for Kindle Scribe, but you can save $40 if you buy two of them. Add two Scribe models from this link, select options, and go proceed to checkout. The offer will be automatically applied.
So, what Kindle deals can you grab right now? Have a look at the quick list below.

Black Friday 2022 deals for Kindle e-readers
Here are the selected deals on Kindle models:
▸ Get Kindle Basic 11 for $84.99 – the newest, entry-level Kindle model sports the high-resolution display, and comes with the fast-charging USB-C port. The Black Friday 2022 deal price is set at $84.99 instead of a regular $99.99 (variant with ads), so you save 15%. The deal is disappointing. I was expecting a much deeper discount, hoping to see the price below $70.
- Regular price:
$99.99 - You save: 15%
▸ Get Kindle Paperwhite 5 for $94.99 – the price is $5 higher than we expected. However, it’s a powerful device with a 6.8-inch display, which gives you 13% more display space than the regular 6-inch display. The price is for the 8 GB variant with lockscreen ads.
- Regular price:
$139.99 - You save: 32%
▸ Get Kindle Oasis 3 for $164.99 – the entry-level Oasis variant comes with 8 GB of storage and lockscreen ads. Quite frankly, compared to the 6.8-inch Paperwhite and the new Scribe, the benefits of the Oasis become weak. We expected the price to go down to under $150. On the other hand, the price is lower by $10 than in former Black Friday events.
- Regular price:
$249.99 - You save: 34%
▸ Get Kindle Signature for $129.99 – Signature Edition is a premium variant of Paperwhite 5, and comes with 32 GB storage, wireless charging, and auto-adjusting front light.
- Regular price:
$188.99 - You save: 32%
▸ Save $40 if you buy two Kindle Scribe models – the only way to save on Kindle Scribe this Black Friday is to buy two of them: one with a Basic Pen ($340), the other one with a Premium Pen ($370). The saving in symbolic, but still, it’s the only price deal you will see on this model until, probably, March 2023.
- Regular price: $340 + $370 =
$710 - You save: 6%

Black Friday 2022 deals for Kindle bundles
▸ Save 80% on Paperwhite Essentials Bundle – the bundle includes the 2021 Paperwhite, power adapter, and leather cover in Black, Lavender Haze, Deep Sea Blue, or Merlot. The price of the variant with 8 GB storage has been cut to $119.99.
- Regular price:
$199.99 - You save: 40%
▸ Get Kindle Oasis Essentials Bundle for $173 – the bundle comes with the highest Black Friday price cut so far – 44%. And it’s much better to get it instead of the Kindle Oasis deal. For a few dollars more ($173 vs. $165) you get a fabric cover and power adapter. The deal price is set for a variant with 8 GB storage.
- Regular price:
$309.99 - You save: 44%
▸ Save $100 on Signature Essentials Bundle – the bundle is exceptional because, besides the Paperwhite Signature and wireless charging dock, it includes a watersafe cork cover in Light or Dark color. The storage is 32 GB, and the dock lets you charge the e-reader without cables.
- Regular price:
$269.99 - You save: 36%

Black Friday 2022 deals for Kindle Unlimited
Standalone Kindle Unlimited subscription
If you already have a Kindle, but want to save on the Kindle Unlimited subscription itself, you can already grab the dedicated Black Friday & Cyber Monday 2022 deal. It won’t get any better – the rule is that deal conditions don’t improve over time.
▸ Get 3 months of Kindle Unlimited for $0.99 – go to the sign-up page of Kindle Unlimited and log in with your Amazon credentials. Without logging in, you won’t see the offer.
Click on the “Join Kindle Unlimited” button to start your membership. The deal will let you save almost $30, as the subscription costs $9.99 per month.

Kindle Unlimited is bundled with Kindle models, regardless of the variant you choose. It’s also included in Kindle bundles.
▸ Get 4 months of free Kindle Unlimited with the purchase of Kindle 11 – the newest entry-level Kindle model comes with the high-resolution display, front-light, and USB-C charging. You save $40 – the total value of 4 months of Kindle Unlimited purchased separately.
▸ Get 3 months of free Kindle Unlimited with the purchase of Kindle Paperwhite 5 – this model combines most-desired features with a reasonable price. The Kindle Unlimited offer bundled with Paperwhite is 3 months for free, not four, so your saving is $30.
▸ Get 3 months of free Kindle Unlimited with the purchase of Kindle Oasis 3 – the Oasis gets the highest price cut this Black Friday, and when you add $30 from Kindle Unlimited, you can save $125 for the variant which regularly costs $250.

Here are Kindle models and bundles that are currently available at lower prices.
Black Friday 2022 Kindle deals – conclusions
You may see on the web or in your news reader the headlines crying, for instance, “Kindle Paperwhite price at all-time low!” Don’t rely on such messages, and always double-check the price.
The thing is that Black Friday 2022 deals on Kindle are less attractive than you’d expect, especially for the Oasis – the model that, compared to the Scribe, suddenly becomes unattractive.
When the deals for Kindle 11 and Kindle 11 bundle arrive, you will find them in Amazon Device Deals. Go to that link and bookmark this page in your browser.
