The days between Black Friday and Cyber Monday don’t have fancy shopping names associated with them, but it’s still a good time to shop for deals on Amazon devices, as most sale prices are still going strong. Amazon has sales on its own Kindles, Echos, Fire tablets and so on throughout the year, but the company tends to reserve the best prices for three events: Prime Day sales in July and October, and the post-Thanksgiving shopping holiday.
We’re seeing a new low on the Kindle Scribe, a bundle with a half price Echo Dot and a free smart bulb, and the new Fire TV Stick 4K Max at its lowest price yet. Here are the best discounts on Amazon devices that you can shop for this weekend.

A number of Amazon’s Kindles are on sale for Black Friday, including a new all-time low on the read/write Kindle Scribe. The model with 16GB of storage and the “Basic Pen” stylus is down to $240. That’s $100 off its $340 list price and its lowest price we’ve seen. We reviewed it when it came out last year and named it the best ereader/E Ink tablet combo in our guide. The Scribe lets you draw, make to-do lists, create sticky notes and scribble in the margins of a limited selection of Kindle titles (mostly puzzle and journaling books).

The standard Kindle is our favorite budget ereader and down to $80, which is 20 percent off though about $15 more than its members-only Prime Day price. It lacks a warm back light and isn’t waterproof, but it’s got a crisp, 300 ppi screen and 16GB of storage, which should take you many years to fill up. Plus it’s an affordable way to access the Kindle library and Kindle Exclusive titles.
Kindle Paperwhite

The Paperwhite adds a few more bells and whistles to the standard Kindle and right now it’s $20 off.
The standard Kindle Paperwhite is on sale for $120 after a 15 percent discount. That’s a good deal more than the $95 it went for on Prime Day in October, but if you like the idea of a warm front light, a bigger screen and a waterproof build, this is a good upgrade from the standard Kindle.
