Amazon adds new aesthetic Matcha Kindle to its Black Friday deals
We've read the runes and seen Black Friday Kindle deals in your future.
Amazon's Black Friday sale is here, which means delightful deals on a range of own-brand devices, including the Kindle.
This November, the tech giant has put huge discounts across the entire Kindle family, including the Kindle Original, Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Scribe and Kindle Kids.
Right now, the lowest price we've found on the Kindle is £79.99 on the original e-reader – now available in a fancy new Matcha colour – while the highest is for the £264.99 for the Scribe, but to be fair it is also a functioning smart notebook.
In case you need reminding, even Amazon's most basic Kindle can hold thousands of books at any one time, it lasts for six weeks on a single charge and has a six-inch 300 PPI high-resolution display.
That's all before you get onto the versions with an adjustable reading light and colour ink. The selection of Kindle models to choose from include: Original, Paperwhite, Scribe, Kids, Paperwhite Signature, Paperwhite Kids, plus the recently released Kindle Colorsoft.
So let's read-up on what you can save.
For more information on the Kindle Colorsoft release date, be sure to check out our guide. Plus, we compared Kindle Colorsoft vs reMarkable Paper Pro.
