Kindle Black Friday Deals 2024: Save Up to 45% on Gifts for Bookworms

The latest Kindle is a favorite for its portable size. The screen is only six inches, making it feel most like the size of an actual book. That said, it still boasts special features like a built-in light for night reading and a six-week battery life. Choose between matcha green and black, and you can bundle in 3 free months of Kindle Unlimited, too.

The Paperwhite functions like a standard Kindle, but it includes extra bells and whistles: a thin and light design for travel, a charge of up to 12 weeks, and 25 percent faster page turns—so you won’t be left on the edge of your seat while reading that thriller. It also has more storage and a glare-free design, making the screen read like real paper. If you need more storage for all of your reading material, there’s a 32 GB model on sale, too.

If you’re feeling extra generous, this Paperwhite Bundle includes the Paperwhite device, of course, along with a dock for wireless charging and a leather case to keep it protected. (There’s also a black or denim bundle on sale.)

If you or your giftee don’t like a case with a leather feel, the fabric featured in this bundle is softer—and there’s a pink option, too.

Kids are notoriously hard on their devices, but Amazon will replace this Kindle for up to two years if it breaks. The device also includes a six-month subscription to Amazon Kids+, which is filled with age-appropriate titles and parental controls to monitor their activity. Perhaps the best part: Unlike other tablets, this one only allows for reading books and graphic novels, so there’s no access to distracting games or videos.

Even the smallest e-reader is still bigger than a standard phone, so if you’re looking for something more compact than a Kindle, the Boox Palma is a functional alternative. It uses e-ink tech to make the screen softer and more readable, which gives your eyes a break—and you can use it to read digital versions of newspapers and listen to podcasts.

You can't go wrong with a basic iPad if you want a more versatile tablet that’s not just an exclusive e-reader. This model features 64GB of memory and a liquid retina display for optimal streaming and reading. (If you’re a graphic novel fan, this might be the way to go see your images in full color!)

This Fire model has an 11-inch screen, ideal for readers who appreciate larger fonts. And if you want more than an e-reader, it’s a full tablet, so you can watch movies, play games, and more. It boasts a 14-hour battery life, works with a stylus, and can connect to a Bluetooth keyboard (sold separately).

Tablets tend to be a little delicate, but this one comes with a durable case that's made for kids ages 6 to 12. It also comes with built-in parental controls—so you can give them access to educational content and limit the games they're playing—and a one-year subscription for Amazon Kids+, which is packed with books (and videos) that are safe for them to watch.

This full-color tablet has a high-resolution screen ideal for reading your favorite novels, watching movies, or having Zoom calls with families. It's always budget-friendly at $100, but it’s nearly half off right now, making it an even more affordable gifting option.

At under $50, this is a solid basic tablet that can handle most of your favorite apps and allow you to read or listen to books for 10 hours on one charge. The Amazon Kids+ app can be installed on this, too, if you want a tablet for your tweens with parental controls.
