If you’ve had your eye on one, this is one of the best times to go ahead and lock one in, because when the weather gets cooler, snuggling with a loved one or a pet and a great read just hits different.

Thanks to Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, which runs October 8 and 9, you can save on some of the best Kindles at Amazon right now. Admittedly Kindle deals are scarce at the moment.

Below, find some of our favorite Kindle deals to be had ahead of Prime Big Deal Days. And don’t forget to snag your free Amazon First Reads books this month, which includes two in October just for being a Prime member.

Best Kindle deal

Why we like it

The Kindle Scribe is a multifunctional tablet that lets you enjoy your favorite books and magazines with the potential to be used as a digital notebook. In addition to all your normal Kindle options, the Scribe lets you take notes while reading or use it as a dedicated tablet with smooth writing and a responsive screen. This deal comes with the basic pen, which lacks the eraser and shortcut button, but it still glides over the screen smoothly.

During Prime Big Deal Days, the Kindle Scribe is down to $254.99, saving you $85.

Best Kindle Paperwhite deal

Why we like it

You really can’t beat the Kindle Paperwhite — there’s a reason it’s the best e-reader we’ve tested. It’s waterproof, comes with 16GB of storage, and adjustable warmth and brightness. It’s super quick with a responsive touchscreen, just what you want as you’re zooming through a good book. During October Prime Day, shop the Kindle Paperwhite for $124.99, taking $25 off the price.

Best Kindle bundle deal

Why we like it

If you’re looking to get the full Kindle set-up, your best bet is to go with a bundle. The Kindle Paperwhite Essentials Bundle is a good option that’s also budget-friendly when it comes to e-readers. This bundle comes with a 16GB Kindle Paperwhite, a fabric cover, and a power adapter. During Prime Big Deal Days, this bundle is down to $134.97, saving you $70.
