There are few pleasures in life better than curling up with a good book for a few hours. You may love buying hardbacks, but many voracious readers have got into using e-readers, the relatively affordable devices with E Ink screens and weeks of battery life.
It’s tempting to load your whole library onto a pocketable gadget such as an Amazon Kindle and be able to connect to Wi-Fi anywhere in the world and buy any book you want.
Amazon announced four new Kindles last week, the range’s biggest launch ever. While some are not yet on sale, the most affordable new Kindle is available now, and Amazon has a very tempting deal for the most dedicated readers.
If you buy the new base model Kindle, which costs from £94.99, you can choose to redeem three months of Kindle Unlimited at no extra cost. This service is Amazon’s reading subscription service that gives you – as the name suggests – unlimited access to millions of books to read at your leisure. You can browse a huge selection and download them whenever you want to read on the go.
There’s also access to thousands of audiobooks and selected magazine titles, ensuring you will genuinely never run out of things to read.
The Kindle is also available in a new Matcha green colour, or you can stick to classic black.
If you opt for the £94.99 Kindle, be aware that it comes with ads built into the system. This is really annoying, and we’ve always thought Amazon shouldn’t do this – you have to pay £10 extra to get a Kindle without ads, which appear on the lockscreen. So we recommend buying the £104.99 version, and make sure you click ‘With 3 Months Kindle Unlimited’ when you add the e-reader to your basket.
After the three month trial, you can keep Kindle Unlimited for the regular price of £9.49 per month or cancel your trial to avoid any extra charges.
