It is a truth universally acknowledged that an owner of one of the best Kindles on the market must be in want of a Kindle book deal. I think that's what Jane Austen said — and she was right.
If you own a Kindle, you'll know all too well how easy it is to become a speed, reader, flying through books in hours. The greatest shame in this wonderful experience is that the cost of eBooks can stack up. Luckily for you, a big sale event like this produces outrageously good discounts on some of the biggest, most brilliant stories out there. Grab a cup of tea (and your Kindle). You're in for a treat.

If you want to get straight to the source for yourself, this is the page where you'll find today's Kindle deals. However, I have put hours into researching the best offers around right now. For some expert-selected options, here are 18 of the best books that I've ever read that just happen to be on offer too.
In the introduction to this book, Dolly Alderton says she gives this as a gift to all of her girlfriends. Me too, Dolly. Nora's collection of thoughts on what it is to be a woman is hilarious and yet vulnerable too. My mum and I both cried reading it, for good and bad reasons. Now, it's free for a limited time on Amazon. Lucky you.
Straight off our recommendations for the best feminist books ever written, this extended essay is a must-read for anyone interested in gender equality. Once you've read it, you'll spot it referenced in plenty of places, Beyoncé and TEDx to name just two.
I was given this as a polite, but not subtle, message from my dad. Quite honestly, I didn't want to break up with my phone, but Catherine Price's compelling points have changed the way that I view the tiny tablet that attached itself to me. Emancipated from the screen, I can say that I'm a much healthier person. You can get all the information for just 99p.
It's rare that I recommend everyone a book, because everyone is different. However, The Book Thief has universal appeal. It's been out for ten years, turned into a film, and read by millions. You won't be the same after reading this book. I promise.
I've waved goodbye to books about bikinis and suncream, saying hello to the cosy, Chrismas comfort books (already). This indulgent romcom is one that will keep you on the sofa all Sunday. As the name hints, you might want a buttered crumpet or crumbly biscuit to nibble on whilst you read.
Hot off the Zoe Ball Book Club list, this thriller promises to keep you on the edge of your seat. It tells the story of Henrietta's attempt to solve the disappearance of her client Annie's younger sister. As she digs deeper into the case, she realises that all is not what it seems.
JoJo Moyes has never let me down with a holiday read and this is no exception. Her funny, warming, gripping book is already on the top of my list of book recommendations this month. For 99p, you'd be silly not to grab it.
There's no such thing as getting out of the wrong side of bed. It's all in our mindset, according to Nguyen.

I was hoping that Sally Rooney's new book, Intermezzo, would get discounted, but that's not happened just yet. In the meantime, I've devoured this book (currently 99p) by Rooney. It one of her classic, heartbreaking, tour de force novels. I even forgot that I was reading it as a distraction.
Did you listen to the chilling podcast 'Unexplained'? Well, this book is based on that, featuring ten real-life mysteries about reincarnation, possession, and haunting that are yet to be solved. It'll have you questioning what the human experience even is. Just make sure you've got a light by your bed.
Psychological thrillers are some of my favourite books to read and this is one that you won't forget. It's been an online sensation, thanks to the fascinating storyline that follows Alicia Berenson, a normal woman who one day shoots her husband. After that, the only person who knows what happened doesn't speak.
My parnter waxed lyrical about this book until I started to read it for myself. It's been recommended by multiple sources as an 'inimitable, derring-do masterpiece' and 'the ultimate revenge story', so who am I to argue? It's a big, fat tome of a book, but you'll be so enthralled you'll won't even notice. Plus, it's free on your Kindle, so you have nothing to lose (and everything to gain, apparently).
Alison Weir is well-known for putting the story in history. She tells the familiar story of Henry and his six wives but from a fresh perspective. It's an ambitious and captivating novel that will make you re-think the age-old tale.
It's menopause awareness month, so I thought that it was only fitting to include the relative bible in this area. Briden's book is a guide to healthy hormones in life post-40. It's practical, factual, and endlessly useful.
Our waste and rubbish is easy to overlook or underthink, but actually, it can have huge impacts on our lives and the environment.

Nobody does thrillers quite like Nicci French and this is a perfect example of her expertise. One normal woman goes missing in a small town, without a trace. Fifty years later, clues start creeping out, unearthing some buried secrets that change the way her disappearance looks. It's compelling. I just wish I hadn't read it as quickly as I did.
It's the question that sparks debate around any dinner table and now we have a book that eloquently covers it all. Should the fact that Pablo Picasso peat his partners and Richard Wagner was antisemitic affect the way that their work is seen? It's a must read.
Kindle Audiobook Deals
There's currently an offer at Amazon, where Audible membership is 99p every month. That transforms this list of audiobooks (which are 99p in the Kindle book deals) into free books.
So, whilst most of the best Kindle book deals are on eBooks, audiobook deals are also aplenty. Some of the year's best-sellers, TikTok sensations, and most talked-about novels are available for free as audiobooks. That even includes A Little Life, which I think is the best book ever written (although, listen with caution, because it's a tough, emotional story). The beauty of listening instead of reading is that you can rest your eyes and relax in bed or you can crack on with house chores — all whilst losing yourself in a good book.
If you want to make a change to the way you eat, Ultra-Processed People is a fascinating (and free) audiobook. The author, Chris van Tulleken, narrates it with his engaging, soft voice, which makes it all the more easy to speed through.

The Spy and The Traitor is the true story of a spy and a Russian KGB agent trying to prevent war. He's the only spy to ever escape from Russia. Everyone I've recommended it to loves it.
You'll never have a better insight into the mind of an addict than listening to this. It's sad, funny, and has some Friends tidbits in too — you don't need to be a Friends fan to enjoy it though.
If you missed out on the Normal People mania, you can catch up for free with the audiobook here.
Whether you're at the beach, walking, or dreaming of doing both, you'll love Raynor Winn's The Salt Path. It tells the story of her walk along the coast.
What is the Kindle Daily Deal? And what are Kindle book deals?
Right now, you're probably the most excited about Amazon Prime's Big Deal Days, since this promises 24 hours of outrageously good deals. That doesn't change the fact that Amazon will still be keeping up with their daily deals, but what exactly are they?
Amazon's daily Kindle book deals are just like the manic, crazy sales that leave people scrapping in the middle of shops, except, they're a lot calmer when they're online and these deals are Kindle books instead of handbags and TVs.
Amazon reduces the price of ebooks and audiobooks to nothing (they're totally free), 99p, or £1.99. Normally, Kindle books will sit around £5.99 or £6.99, so to have access to them for a fraction of the price is exciting if you're a bookworm like me.
When I first heard about this concept, I thought the daily deals would be on books that are old enough to collect dust on the shelves, but they're not. As you can see in the section above, you can pick up the latest best-sellers, brand-new autobiographies, and some seriously sought-after novels.

Where can you find Kindle book deals yourself?
The most logical place to look for Kindle Daily Deals is on Amazon. However, if you're not a seasoned shopper or you know you get easily overwhelmed by choice, there are plenty of blogs and pages that will whittle down your options for you.
Just like I've done on this page, blogging sites can bring together the best Kindle book deals. Each has its own unique offering, so, if you haven't seen something you like just yet, we recommend taking a look at these sites. They might not always have something that you're interested in, but it's worth signing up to subscription accounts that can notify you when your favourite books become reduced.
- eReader IQ: Make a wishlist of books and then this'll notify you when any of them are reduced in Kindle Daily Deals.
- The Reader Cafe: known as the spot for free novels, bargain books and killer deals
- Net Galley: a community for discovering and recommending books
Is it worth getting Kindle Unlimited instead?
One of the most frequently asked questions around Kindle book deals is 'what is Kindle Unlimited? and should I get it?' We had a long list of Kindle book deals that nearly made the cut for this page and a fair few of them are free on Kindle Unlimited. Over there, you'll have access to thousands of books, audiobooks, comics, and magazines for £9.49 a month. If you know you're a prolific paperback consumer, Kindle Unlimited could be well worth your time.
The only downside of Kindle Unlimited is that you won't necessarily have access to the same list of the newest best-sellers. Instead, you'll need to keep an open mind, especially if you're interested in more niche genres. There will still be some big-name titles, but don't expect to have the same offering as Kindle deals.
The way I see it is: Kindle Unlimited is £9.49 a month, which is about the price of a paperback. If you read more than one book in a month and you're not super picky about what you read, you'll be saving money.
If you don't, it might be worth just shopping carefully. Kindle Unlimited offers a free 30-day trial, so you can try it before you buy. Plus, if you have Amazon Prime, you can try three months of Kindle Unlimited completely free. By that time, you'll know whether it's for you.
FAQs
When is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime's Big Deal Days fall on 8th and 9th of October, which means that you can start your savings tomorrow, in theory. In reality, there are already lots of amazing deals live already.
How often does Kindle change their book deals?
Amazon has a series of ebook deals. First, there are the daily deals, which, you guessed it, change at the end of every day. Then, their more generic Kindle book deals change weekly and monthly. There's a relatively fast turnaround, so if you see a title that you like, we recommend snapping it up.
Are Kindle books cheaper with a Prime account?
Whilst Kindle books are cheaper than physical books, you won't see any price difference whether you have a Prime account or not. However, you can use your Prime account to have three months of access to Kindle Unlimited, where you can read and download thousands of titles for free.
How many free books do you get per month with Kindle Unlimited?
With Kindle Unlimited you can borrow up to twenty digital books, audiobooks, or comics at a time. Amazon doesn't set any limit on magazines either, so you can have a lot of books on the go. This is generally more cost-effective than shopping Amazon's book deals, although there are some amazing books in the daily deals right now that are totally free.
Does Kindle Unlimited go on sale for Prime day?
Amazon Prime Day starts tomorrow and it's likely that Amazon will offer some sort of discount on both Kindle Unlimited and their Kindle book deals I'll let you know if we see anything you'll like.
