Update: October 7, 2024, 12:45 pm EDT This post has been updated with the latest Amazon book deals ahead of Prime Big Deal Days.
The best Prime Day book deals at a glance:
Prime Day is here again – the bi-annual shopping event (now known as Prime Day) is coming up on Oct. 8 and 9, and Amazon already offers discounts on many products in all categories. One category you might not expect to see many deals on is books, but that’s exactly what we’re seeing on Amazon’s website right now. (Amazon he did start as an online bookstore, so it makes sense.)
We’ve found tons of book titles from a variety of genres currently on sale, from best-selling novels to fantasy and children’s books. Kindle and e-books are up to 80% off their regular list prices, while hardcover and paperback books see discounts of up to 50%. And this before it’s the official start of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days.
Here are some of the best book deals that have caught our attention so far. Stay tuned as the official October Prime Day event begins — we’ll be updating this list with more deals to drop.
A very good book deal overall
Why we love you
If you are not into self-help books, by James Clear Atomic Habits it might not be on your radar. But this is one of the best nonfiction titles to come out in the last few years, and it’s currently 65% off the hardcover — thanks to a new coupon on the page.
This book is about teaching yourself to build good habits, break bad ones, and generally be more focused, productive, and successful in your everyday life. And at under $10 for a hard cover, it’s a steal.
A great deal on a bunch of books

A great Kindle deal
Why we love you
If you have said that for just 24 hours it wasn’t like that enough time in the day, by Oliver Burkeman Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management of Mortals – currently 84% off the Kindle price – it could be just the book for you.
This book has a bunch of “life hacks” that can help you prioritize your time and figure out what really needs to be done — it’s the anti-productivity kind of 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.
