I don’t know about you, but Christmas snuck up on me this year. I’m still in denial that it’s only a few days away, and there’s still plenty of shopping I need to complete. If you’re in the same boat as me, have I got a hot tip for you: If you’re shopping for any reader in your life, several great Kindles (and Kindle accessories, too!) are on sale right now for a final hurrah before the big holiday.
That’s right, you can score anything from our all-time favorite Kindle to a range of color-screen and kid-focused Kindles on sale right now, plus a couple of covers and cases we love to put our Kindles in. Don’t miss your chance to get these on sale and shipped to your door, or possibly straight to your gift receiver’s door if the shipping gods aren’t in your favor.

The Best Last-Minute E-Reader Deals
Our all-time favorite Kindle, the Kindle Paperwhite, has it all: a three-month battery life, an auto-adjusting warm light, and a nice 7-inch screen for one of the best e-reader experiences. Both the regular and the Signature versions are on sale for a really nice discount right now.
If they already have an e-reader but don’t have a color one yet, get them the colorful Kindle to upgrade their reading game. It’s best if they’re a graphic novel reader to really get the most out of it, but a colorful bookshelf on the homepage will bring any reader joy, even if their books aren’t illustrated.

Kindle Paperwhite Kids
Shopping for a growing reader? The Kids version of the Paperwhite is on sale, which adds a fun cover and six months of Amazon Kids+ content (think Kindle Unlimited, but the kids version) for free.
If there’s anyone who I think can actually take advantage of a color e-reader, it’s kids. Kids’ books have many more illustrations than your standard novel, so it’s more likely that your favorite young reader will actually get to enjoy the color abilities as opposed to an adult. Plus, it comes with a full year of Kids+ content.
Amazon
Kindle (2024, 11th Generation)
The cheapest Kindle is even cheaper right now, with an on-sale price under $100. It’s the smallest Kindle with just a 6-inch screen, but it still has a snappy performance.
The Best Last-Minute E-Reader Accessory Deals
If they’ve already got a Kindle, these cases are on sale and make for a great, easy gift.
Pair this case with a pack of stickers and maybe a sticky PopSockets to give them a full accessory set for Christmas. Double-check which Kindle they have first; the Paperwhite size will fit both a Paperwhite and Colorsoft, which are both 7-inch models.
Amazon
Kindle Plant-Based Leather Case
Get a case with a full cover for a Paperwhite or Colorsoft user. It’s magnetic, so it’ll not only secure the case closed, but it will wake up or put your Kindle to sleep when you open or close it.
