Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is at lowest price ever in early Black Friday sale

Fed up with carrying around hefty books? it might be time to consider switching to an e-reader. Thanks to a massive Black Friday deal for Amazon's Kindle, the transition is more appealing than ever.

The All-New Kindle Paperwhite has been slashed from £159.99 to just £124.99 - previously, the lowest price it had ever reached was £159.99, so this is a fantastic chance to grab a top-notch tablet at a bargain price.

This offer is for the 16GB model - if you need more storage, the 32GB version is also currently discounted, dropping its price from £189.99 to £154.99. If you have an old Kindle you're looking to upgrade, you can trade it in for an additional 20 percent off.

The Kindle Paperwhite differs from the original model as it boasts a larger screen and faster performance. This option provides uninterrupted reading without ads, but it doesn't include Kindle Unlimited - something you might want to consider if you devour books at a rapid pace.

Amazon claims that this model is the fastest Kindle yet, offering 25 percent quicker page turns, reports Wales Online. Despite its power, it remains slim enough to carry on your travels, and a single charge lasts up to 12 weeks - giving you ample time to enjoy your favourite novels or discover some new captivating reads.

It's even waterproof, which is useful if you like to read in the bath or plan to take it on your next summer getaway. With a 4.3 star average rating from just over 100 reviews, customers seem thrilled with the new Kindle.

"It's noticeably faster, making navigation and page turns incredibly smooth. The improved contrast enhances readability and dark mode, bringing a rich, comfortable reading experience even in low light," enthused one shopper.

"The build quality feels premium, with a sleek design that's comfortable to hold for long periods, and the added rubber lip around the edge offers a secure grip. This model truly combines performance, display quality, and thoughtful design enhancements."

Another concurred: "The screen is bright, clear, and has excellent contrast. The page turns feel instant, and it's so light and comfortable to use."

Meanwhile, a third commented: "Love this Kindle. It looks fantastic. It's super quick. The battery lasts ages, I've had it for a month and used it every day and it still has 59 percent battery left."

However, some shoppers did express certain criticisms. "My main problem with the recent Kindles is the fact you have to pay extra to get rid of ads...I don't want to have ads so I paid, but there shouldn't be ads on a Kindle period," pointed out one.
