Soaring in popularity since the very first edition launched back in 2007, the Kindle has grown to become one of the nation’s favourite ways to read, with seven different models available to buy today.
Normally costing anywhere between £84.99 and £329.99, it’s not often they go on sale. But ahead of Prime Day tomorrow, Amazon has slashed the price of a number of models, including the hugely popular Kindle Paperwhite — discounted to £119.99 down from £149.99, and the Kindle (2022) — now just £64.99 (the cheapest we’ve ever seen it).
