So even though this Kindle Paperwhite sale is solid, and even though I'm a big fan of the Paperwhite and its Signature edition, for anyone considering this deal, ask yourself: will you be annoyed if Amazon launches a new model before the end of the year? If not, then go for it; if so, then I'd recommend waiting to see what Amazon has up its sleeve.

Again, as of Oct. 9, the Kindle Scribe is marked down to $254.99, so you're saving $85 — all the more money for books. This is the final day of October Prime Day, but you can check out our Prime Day live blog to stay up to date on all the final deals, including a handful of deals on Kindle e-readers.

The second Prime Day of the year, Prime Big Deal Days, is less than a week away (on October 8 and 9, to be exact), but deals are already rolling in. Of course, Amazon is known for year-round sales but deals on subscription programs like Kindle Unlimited don’t come around too often — it’s usually just during an event like Prime Big Deal Days.
