The 2022 release of the Amazon Kindle can hold thousands of books at one time. It lasts for six weeks on a single charge, comes with built-in backlighting so you can read in the dark, has a six-inch 300 PPI high-resolution display, and will even support audiobooks via Audible.

There's a selection of different Kindle models to choose from, too, including Paperwhite and Oasis; plus the recently released Kindle Colorsoft, the first-ever e-reader in colour.

In this guide – which breaks down the best Kindle deals and offers this month – we'll show you models with ads, which will keep the cost down. Kindle ads are usually found via banners on the homepage and on the screensaver; they're typically personalised and not too intrusive.

However, if you don't want to see any ads, then you can do so by paying around 10 to 20 quid more. Simply choose the 'without ads' model to get rid of them.

The biggest deals month of the year is here! Make sure you check out, when is Black Friday 2024? Plus, the PS5 Black Friday discount, the Xbox Black Friday deal and Currys early Black Friday sale.

What is Kindle Unlimited?

Kindle Unlimited is a subscription service which lets you enjoy millions of books, thousands of audiobooks, and countless magazines on any device.

The service lets you download content from the Kindle app, so you can read anywhere at any time.

You don't need to be an Amazon Prime member to make the most of Kindle Unlimited. You don't even need to be an Amazon Prime subscriber to get the most out of your Kindle, for that matter, as the service will set you back £9.49 regardless of whether you already have Prime.

Kindle Unlimited offers a free 30-day trial, so you can try it for a month before you decide whether to purchase.

However, being a Prime member comes in particularly handy on 8th and 9th October, as Prime members can now receive three months of Kindle Unlimited completely free. Sign in to your Prime account to view the offer and get reading.
