If you have an endless appetite for books (guilty), then you know reading can be an expensive hobby. That's true whether you're a fiend for hardcovers or dedicated to the e-reader life. Luckily, platforms like Libby and Kindle Unlimited can save you a pretty penny on all the latest arrivals. However, if you don't want to wait around for your library holds to come through, it pays to splurge on an e-book.

Whether you need to escape your family or are headed on a holiday vacation, the best Kindle is a fully stocked Kindle. Now that Black Friday is wrapped up and we're in Cyber Monday mode, you can stock your library with new bestsellers starting at just $0.99. We've found fiction and non-fiction books marked down by 93% at the Kindle store. And as Cyber Monday draws to a close, Amazon has added last-minute markdowns on popular Goodreads titles.

So, to find your next read, here are the best Cyber Monday deals on Kindle books. (And, yes, Kindles and Kindle Unlimited subscriptions are on sale, too.) A word to the wise: Many Kindle book deals are scheduled to end on Dec. 2 at 11:59 p.m. PT.

Do you need a Kindle to read Kindle books?

Not necessarily, though we do have to say that Kindles are well worth it. Your Kindle purchases may not work on other e-readers, but that doesn't mean you have to have a Kindle. Using the Kindle app, you can read your e-books on tablets and smartphones, too. The Kindle app gives you flexibility so you don't need to spend a hundred dollars on an e-reader.

The Kindle app is available on iOS and Android devices so you can start reading on your existing smartphone, tablet, or laptop. And if you want a Kindle, Amazon recently marked down nearly all of the new Kindles. You can find savings of up to 23% on the top-tier Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, which is down to $154.99; the new 2024 Kindle is available for just $84.99.

Why we like it

If you've never signed up for Kindle Unlimited before, you can snag three months of the book subscription for only $0.99. Usually $11.99 per month, that's an outrageous savings of $34.98 or 97%. You'll get access to over 4 million digital book titles, from classics to recent bestsellers, thousands of audiobooks, and even magazine subscriptions. After the initial promo, you'll have to pay the full price, so be sure to set a calendar reminder to cancel if you want to avoid that charge.

Why we like it

Margo's Got Money Troubles is equal parts hilarious and heartwarming.

Rufi Thorpe's novel is a 2024 hit with an Apple TV+ series already in development, starring the likes of Elle Fanning, Nicole Kidman, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Nick Offerman.
