If you’ve been waiting for a good excuse to buy a Kindle, Amazon’s latest discount makes the entry-level model much more appealing. The 2024 Amazon Kindle with 16GB of storage is currently available for $103.99, down from its $149.99 list price—a savings of $46, or about 31%.

The 2024 Kindle is Amazon’s most affordable dedicated e-reader, but it still includes many of the features most readers actually need. It has a glare-free display that’s designed to resemble paper, making it comfortable to read indoors or outside in bright sunlight. Amazon also includes an adjustable front light, allowing you to read comfortably during the day or at night.

With 16GB of storage, there’s room for thousands of ebooks, while the battery is rated to last for weeks on a single charge depending on your usage. The device also features faster page turns than previous entry-level Kindles, making navigation feel more responsive.

Unlike a tablet, the Kindle is purpose-built for reading, so you won’t have to deal with distracting notifications, apps, or short battery life.

Is it a good deal?

A price of $103.99 puts the 2024 Kindle close to one of its better sale prices. While Amazon occasionally discounts Kindle devices during major shopping events like Prime Day or Black Friday, a 31% discount is still a solid opportunity if you’re planning to buy before then.

The biggest reasons to choose this model are its compact size, long battery life, and lower price. If you want extras such as waterproofing, a larger display, wireless charging, or warm lighting, you’ll want to step up to one of Amazon’s higher-end Kindle models instead.

For readers who simply want an affordable, lightweight e-reader for novels, nonfiction, or manga, the standard Kindle continues to offer excellent value—especially at just over $100.
