Best Kindle deals: Get Kindle Unlimited for free

Many of the best e-book readers come from the Amazon Kindle lineup, and while it’s been awhile since we’ve seen Amazon significantly discount any of its Kindle models, there are some Kindle deals worth taking a look at right now. The Kindle lineup is generally well priced, particularly if you compare it to some of the best tablets and other high-end tablet options. Sometimes a Kindle model or two will even turn up among the best tablet deals. But you can save even more on a Kindle if you have a device to trade-in, and several models come with free Kindle Unlimited and Audible subscriptions right now. We’ve rounded up all of the best Kindle deals so you can sort through this information more easily, and you’ll find all of that below. If the savings you’re hoping for aren’t currently available on a Kindle, you can also turn to the current iPad deals, Samsung tablet deals, and Amazon Fire tablet deals for a new way to do some digital reading.
