I've found 8 great Black Friday Kindle deals – here are the best picks for every budget, including bargain bundles

Every Amazon Kindle e-reader (except the newest ones you can't even buy yet) are on sale in the Amazon Black Friday deals. So if you've been thinking about buying a Kindle as a gift or for yourself, now is the best time, because I've never seen lower prices on most of these Kindle e-readers, and some of these are dropping in price for the first time ever, like the Kindle Colorsoft Signature edition, my personal favorite Kindle for reading books and graphic novels.

A Kindle makes a great gift because it's so versatile. You can use it to read books from Amazon's Kindle store, you can subscribe to Kindle Unlimited for a ton of independent content, or you can even link your Kindle to your library account using an app like Libby, which lets you borrow books to your Kindle for free.

Every Kindle lasts weeks on a full charge, and some are even durable enough to get wet. I tested the Kindle Colorsoft by reading extensively in the tub - it's a great job if you can get it! - so I can promise that these Kindle e-readers are built tough.

Amazon offers bundles with Kindle e-readers as well. The Kids version of the Kindle is just the device with a kid-friendly cover and a short-term subscription to Amazon Kindle Kids Unlimited. The Essentials bundle usually offers a book cover, as well as a wall charger, since there is no charger in the box (a Kindle can use USB-C like your smartphone or laptop).

I don't think the bundles are worth a look in most cases, since Kindle book covers are not expensive if you shop around. However, if you splurge on the Signature edition Kindles, you'll get wireless charging built-in, and then the Essentials bundle with a wireless charging stand is worth considering.
