This week Amazon is celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Kindle by knocking $30 off the price of most of its current models, with special offers on lots of ebooks, too.
So if you’re curious about ebooks but are yet to take the plunge, or you simply fancy upgrading to a new ebook reader, now’s your chance.
The discount means the basic Kindle device
The 6-inch Kindle Paperwhite
If this device sounds appealing and you have an older Kindle, you can trade it in for up to $75 Amazon credit when you buy the Paperwhite, or a smaller amount if you buy a different Kindle.
Finally, the 6-inch Kindle Voyage
All these devices offer 4GB of storage and have touchscreen capability, and the battery will last for weeks so you don’t have to worry about the thing going dark as you reach the final chapter. Unless it needed charging at that particular point, that is.
The 7-inch, 8GB Kindle Oasis
Looking for new content for your ebook reader? The anniversary offer includes up to 85 percent off the price of top-selling ebooks on Amazon’s store.
You’d better hurry
Take note — this anniversary discount offer only lasts until Wednesday, October 25, so you’ll have to hurry to take advantage.
If you’re interested in finding out more about the best ebook readers on the market today, DT’s recent article on the subject has all the information you need. Our pick of the bunch was actually the 7.8-inch Kobo Aura One, praised for its beautiful crisp display, a night mode that eliminates blue light, and ability to support any ebook format. But at $230 it’s a little on the pricey side.
