Amazon Kindle paperwhite: Was £129.99, now £94.99, Amazon.co.uk

(Amazon)

Calling keen readers everywhere, Amazon has slashed the price of the Kindle paperwhite by £35. Perfect for reading on the go or on an upcoming holiday, it’s slim and streamlined, taking up little space in your handbag, much less so than bulky books.

Whether you want to treat yourself or gift to a loved one for Christmas, it’s a worthwhile buy. In our review of it, we discovered it to have smoother lighter and 20 per cent faster page turning than its predecessors.

Its features are endless – it has 6.8in screen, smaller bezels, an adjustable warm light, increased LED backlighting for more even illumination, and USB-C charging. There’s even audiobook integration through Audible too.

Our reviewer said: “The all-new Kindle paperwhite is the best Kindle Amazon has made, narrowing the feature gap between the mid-range Kindle paperwhite and the high-end Kindle oasis enough that we can’t recommend the most expensive Kindle over the newest one.”
