If you’ve always wanted to buy an e-reader, you should check out Amazon’s Big Spring Sale 2025 for Kindle deals. Here’s an offer that’s going to be hard to refuse: The Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition, which has an original price of $280, is available at 20% off for a more affordable price of $225. We’re surprised to see the device receive a $55 discount so soon after its launch late last year, so we highly recommend hurrying with your purchase because we don’t expect this bargain to last until the event ends on March 31.

Why you should buy the Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition

The Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition, which received a solid score of 3.5 out of 5 stars in our review, is featured in our list of the best e-readers as the best color e-reader, and it’s also among the best Kindles as the best color Kindle. That’s because it’s the first model of the e-reader with a color screen, which is its major advantage in our Kindle Colorsoft versus Kindle Paperwhite comparison. In addition to reading digital copies of bestselling novels, the Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition is one of the best ways to read graphic novels and comic books while on the go, as the 7-inch display is also glare-free with an auto-adjusting front light.

While reading on the Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition, you have the option of highlighting text in different colors, and since the e-reader is waterproof, you can keep using it while lounging beside the swimming pool or in the bathtub. The device can last up to eight weeks on a single charge, which you can maximize further if you sign up for a Kindle Unlimited subscription.

The Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition is an excellent choice, whether you’re upgrading from an older model or if this will be your first time owning an e-reader. You’re going to want to hurry in completing your transaction for the device though, as it’s on sale from Amazon with a 20% discount that slashes its price from $280 to only $225. The savings of $55 is equivalent to a few e-books for your digital library, but you need to push through with your transaction right now to make sure you get it.

Amazon’s Fire Max 11 tablet: We liked it at $230, we love it at $185
A person holding the Amazon Kindle Fire Max 11

Last summer we looked at the 2023's Amazon Fire Max 11 once more, concluded it was still among the best Android tablets, and have since stayed essentially silent about it. Until now. That's because there's a limited time deal going on over at Amazon for their Fire Max 11 tablet.

Usually it is $230 but while this deal lasts it is $185. That's a savings of 20% or, to save you the arithmetic, $45 off. And, of course, that brings new life and interest to the machine. You can tap the button below to see the deal for yourself. It's been awhile since this tablet (again, one of the best Android tablets) has gotten hype, so you're excused for having forgotten about all of its details. But don't worry, if you keep reading, we'll bring you back up to speed.

Amazon rolled out several Kindle deals for Presidents' Day, including this gem: the ad-supported Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2024 at 16% off, bringing it down to a more affordable $135 from the e-reader's original price of $160. The $25 in savings may not look like much, but you still wouldn't want to miss it because a discount for this device rarely happens. The offer will only be available for a limited time though, with stocks possibly running out even before the holiday arrives, so hurry with your purchase if you want to take advantage of this bargain.

Why you should buy the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2024
The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite 2024 received an impressive 4.5 stars out of 5 stars in our review, catapulting it to the top of our list of the best Kindles. The first thing that you'll notice about the e-reader is its sharp and high-contrast e-ink screen that makes reading extremely comfortable to the eyes, especially since it also has glare-free properties. The 7-inch display also has adjustable warmth that you can customize depending on the time of day, and since the device is ultra-thin and waterproof, you can bring it with you wherever you go.

The latest Apple iPad mini is down to its lowest ever price

For great iPad deals, Amazon is generally an excellent place to head. That’s certainly the case today, as it has reduced the price of the latest Apple iPad mini to its lowest ever level. The tablet was only released a matter of months ago and usually costs $649. Right now though, it’s down to $549 for a limited time and it has never gone that low before. This is easily one of the tablet deals you should pay attention to as it’s a great device at an equally great price. If you still need to know more, read on while we tell you all about it. It’s the iPad I’m tempted to upgrade to.

Why you should buy the Apple iPad mini
The form factor of the Apple iPad mini is one of its main selling points in a world where many of the best tablets are increasingly large and potentially cumbersome. With this Apple iPad mini, you get a sleek and fairly lightweight build with its 8.3-inch Liquid Retina display looking gorgeous. Much of that is thanks to its use of technologies like P3 wide color, True Tone, and ultralow reflectivity, so it looks great. It’s perfect for watching movies, playing games, or whatever else you have planned.
