Amazon Prime Day Book deals still live: Score Kindle books, paperbacks, and hardcovers

LIVE BLOG: The latest news on October Prime Day 2024

UPDATE: Oct. 8, 2024, 6:45 a.m. EDT This post has been updated with the latest Amazon book deals on Prime Big Deal Days.

Prime Day is here yet again — the bi-annual shopping event (this time known as Prime Big Deal Days) is coming up on Oct. 8 and 9, and Amazon’s already offering discounts on countless products across all categories. One category you might not expect to see a lot of deals on is books, but that's exactly what we're seeing on Amazon's website right now. (Amazon did start as an online bookstore, so it kind of makes sense.)

We’ve found tons of book titles from a wide variety of genres that are currently on sale, from bestselling novels to nonfiction and children's books. Kindle and e-book editions are up to 80% off their typical list prices, while hardcover and paperback books are seeing discounts of up to 50% off.

Here are some of the best book deals that captured our attention, but make sure to check back as we're updating our stories constantly during the event.

Best book deal overall

Why we like it

If you’re not into self-help books, James Clear’s Atomic Habits might not be on your radar. But this is one of the best nonfiction titles to come out within the past few years, and it's currently 65% off in hardcover — thanks to a new on-page coupon.

This book is all about teaching yourself to build good habits, break bad ones, and generally become more focused, productive, and successful in your daily life. And at less than $10 for the hardcover, it’s a steal.

Best book bundle deal

Why we like it

Whether you have kids or you’re an adult who’s looking to add another classic book series to your collection, the Dr. Seuss’s Beginner Book Boxed Set Collection: The Cat in the Hat; One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish; Green Eggs and Ham; Hop on Pop; Fox in Socks is on sale for just $26.47.

That’s five iconic Dr. Seuss books for less than $30, which is an awesome deal considering each of these books typically sells for around $9 to $12 individually.

This book set is the perfect gift for new parents, birthdays, holidays, or just to add to the family home library.

Best Kindle deal

Why we like it

If you’ve ever mumbled that 24 hours just wasn’t enough time in a day, Oliver Burkeman’s Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals — currently 84% off the Kindle edition price — might be just the book for you.

This book has a ton of “life hacks” that can help you prioritize your time and figure out what's really worth doing — it's kind of an anti-productivity productivity book. If you're overwhelmed by the constant demands on your time and attention, this e-book promises to help you take back control and get more done.

You can get it for free with a Kindle Unlimited subscription, or pay just $2.99 to own it outright.
