I’m a tech expert and this is the only Kindle worth your money this Black Friday

BLACK FRIDAY has finally landed, and there’s one Kindle deal that should be top of your list.

The Kindle Paperwhite has dropped to £134.99, down from just shy of £170 on a regular day.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, £134.99 (was £169.99)

It’s a clean £35 saving on the Kindle that is the only model truly worth your money today.

I’ve tested every Kindle Amazon makes as Sun Shopping’s tech expert, from the budget-friendly base model to the supersized and super-pricey Scribe.

But it’s the Paperwhite that sits in that perfect sweet spot.

This deal even includes 3 months of Kindle Unlimited free, saving you another £28.47.

This model is the one I’d reach for when packing for a trip or on the sofa at night; it just nails that balance of function and premium specs.

The smaller frame makes it noticeably less cumbersome than the Scribe, yet it still delivers that soft, book-like charm the basic Kindle is loved for.

You get the upgraded 7-inch display with sharper contrast and slick page turns to flick through chapters.

But the adjustable warm light is the real star of the show, letting you move from bright daytime reading to softer amber tones at night without tiring your eyes.

SMART PRICE

I’ve tried robot vacs worth thousands – this £85 Black Friday buy rivals them

It’s completely free of distractions too, keeping you in the story rather than drifting into apps.

Battery life stretches up to 12 weeks on a single charge, which still feels impressive in this day and age.

It’s waterproof as well, something the budget Kindle can’t claim, giving the Paperwhite a proper edge for bath-time reading or to take poolside.

And while it’s not the cheapest Kindle you can buy today, it’s absolutely the best: a buy-once, buy-well upgrade built to carry you through any reading environment.

You’ll gain access to millions of titles in the Kindle Store on a pocket-sized device, and even more with Kindle Unlimited.

With the Paperwhite now down to £134.99 for Black Friday, it’s easily the smartest Kindle upgrade you can make before the deals disappear.
