However, there's a small catch in that Amazon just refreshed its Kindle lineup with a new batch of e-readers for 2026. (You can check out our Kindle 2026 preorders page for more buying info). Here are my top deals on the previous-gen Kindles along with what you need to know about the new tablets.Quick Linksshop all last-minute October Prime Day dealsKindle (2024): was $149 now $103Kindle Paperwhite (2024): was $199 now $149Kindle Colorsoft (2024): was $289 now $189Best Kindle DealsNew Kindles are comingIt's worth noting that there are brand new Kindle models for 2026. However, they're not on sale for Prime Day and all of the previous-gen models are great value buys at their current discounted pricing.The all-new Kindle 2026 ($149) is even thinner than its predecessors and comes with a six-inch display. Amazon says the idea is to be able to slide it into your pocket more easily, and we can see it.Meanwhile, the new Paperwhite 2026 ($249) is thinner and lighter than the previous model. The waterproof e-reader also features an adjustable warm light for comfortable reading at any hour. It sports the highest contrast ratio in a Kindle Paperwhite — delivering deep blacks, crisp text, and images that pop off the screen.Finally, the Kindle Colorsoft 2026 ($289) sports a completely redesigned display. It packs micro-deflectors that minimize stray light and improve uniformity. There's also an ultra-thin optical coating in the display stack improves clarity. But it’ll set you back $289 — that’s the kind of budget usually reserved for a more general, all-purpose tablet.Shop more Amazon dealsshop all last-minute October Prime day dealsYETI sale: deals from $10Amazon devices: deals from $12Fall jackets/hoodies: from $18Anker Smart Display Charger: was $39 now $23Skechers: from $25TV sale: deals from $69 (Image credit: Future)Follow Tom's Guide on Google News and add us as a preferred source to get our up-to-date news, analysis, and reviews in your feeds.
