First Kindle deals of the year now live: Latest base model $90, Kindle Scribe up to $140 off, Colorsoft $50 off

This morning Amazon is serving up the first deals of the year on Kindle devices. This includes the now previous-generation Kindle Scribe – it is quite similar to the newer and more pricey $499 model – at up to $140 off the list price alongside the latest base Kindle from $89.99 shipped and Kindle Colorsoft down at $199.99 shipped, or $50 off. 

While the deals on the latest and most affordable base model Kindle aren’t quite as low as the Black Friday price at $89.99 shipped, deal haven’t been all that deep on these in general and today’s offers are $10 more than the latest November price. 

The deeper of today’s deals though land on the Amazon Kindle Scribe at up to $120 off. This is the now previous-generation late 2024 model that remains in the lineup as more affordable take on Amazon’s Kindle-meets-tablet experience with the digital notebook features – “replace your stack of notebooks with a single device purpose-built for writing, reading, and thinking. No notifications or social media.”
