Amazon Prime Day Kindle Deals: FAQs
When will Amazon Prime Day 2024 start?
Amazon Prime Day 2024 will take place on July 16 – 17. The event starts at midnight on Tuesday and runs through until 23:59 on Wednesday.
Even though some early Prime Day deals are available now, the bulk of the offers will be available during those 48 hours, including a few limited-time lightning deals.
We could also see a second Prime Day in late October, which has become a commonplace addition to the retail calendar in recent years.
Will you need Amazon Prime to get these deals?
Yep, you'll need to be an active Amazon Prime member to get your hands on Prime Day's exclusive discounts. While there are usually some non-exclusive price cuts available at the retailer over the period of the event, discounts on own-brand tech like Kindles, Amazon Echo, Fire TV Sticks, and so on are almost always exclusive to Prime members.
The good news is that if you're not an existing Amazon Prime member, you can easily sign up to the retailer's 30-day free trial ahead of Prime Day. Doing so will not only get you full unlimited access to all the exclusive discounts on offer but also plenty of time to check out the other associated perks like free delivery, streaming services, and various other freebies.
Is Amazon Prime Day the best time for Kindle deals?
Amazon Prime Day tends to be the best time of the year to get discounts on own-brand tech. This doesn't just include Kindles, but also Echo smart speakers, Amazon Fire TV Sticks, and Ring home security cameras. All these Amazon devices should have healthy discounts so it's definitely worth shopping around on Prime Day if you're a Prime member.
If you're interested, you can see a full run-down of last year's best Prime Day Kindle deals just down below. You'll see that these deals include excellent price cuts in both the US and UK for the Paperwhite, standard Kindle, Scribe, and Oasis. Generally speaking, we're expecting similar price cuts this year - with perhaps a few new records considering that all the latest Kindle models are a little older now.
Is Kindle Unlimited worth it?
Amazon Kindle Unlimited is a fantastic service that perfectly compliments any Amazon Kindle device. You get unlimited access to a library of over one million books and magazines, plus some free audiobook narration on select titles, courtesy of Audible. It's good value, at just $7.95 / £7.99 a month, and you'll never run out of fantastic content.
That said, Prime members get access to the Prime reading service. It's like a stripped-down version of Kindle Unlimited, and has a few thousand free titles. So if you have Prime, even if you don't want to sign up to Kindle Unlimited, you'll still have plenty of books to read with your Kindle device.
