‘Fastest ever' Kindle that 'makes reading a joy' now £28 off on Amazon
E-books have taken the world by storm over the past decade or so, and more and more readers are turning to reading on Kindle instead of paperback books. With unlimited literature at your fingertips, it's no wonder that keen readers are deciding to modernise their libraries by going digital.
Lucky for those finally looking to branch out into e-reading, or for people looking to update their current Kindle, Amazon's 'fastest ever' e-reader is currently almost £30 off on the retailer's website. The Certified Refurbished Amazon Kindle Paperwhite usually retails at £143.99, but savvy shoppers can currently catch it on a generous 20 per cent discount, for a cheaper £115.19 for the black model.
The Kindle is also available in pink for the full price or green for the same discount as the black version. Its seven-inch glare free screen promises an optimum reading experience.
Amazon promises that the new Kindle is the company's fastest ever, with a higher contrast ratio on the display and 25 per cent faster page turns, to make sure readers can stay in the moment rather than deal with a lagging screen.

Product Description
Its thin design makes the gadget easily portable, meaning it won't take up room in bags when on public transport or travelling distances, unlike a bulky paperback or hardback novel.
The Kindle doesn't have any social media or annoying notifications, meaning readers can remain fully immersed in their literature.
But it's worth noting that this Kindle comes with ads which will be displayed when the gadget is on sleep mode.
Its display also comes with adjustable options, so readers can easily see pages in the sun or in the dark with its amber light mode.
And for holiday-goers, the Kindle is waterproof, meaning a good book can even be enjoyed on the poolside this summer.
Books can be purchased on the Kindle through the Kindle Store, and readers can consider subscribing to Kindle Unlimited for access to an additional wide range of titles at no extra cost.
Those considering alternative e-reading devices may consider the Kobo Clara BW 16GB Wi-Fi E-Reader at a slightly pricier £129.99.
Or, those after a fancier Kindle may opt for the Amazon Kindle Scribe 2024 10.2In 16GB Wi-Fi E-Reader for £379.99, which allows users to write directly onto documents and pages with a stylus.
But the refurbished Kindle Paperwhite is blowing customers away, and it has scored an overall rating of 4.4 stars out of a possible five.
In fact, one of our own reporters adores her Kindle so much that she has already read 35 books on it this year.
One happy reader said in the Kindle's reviews: "Never been a reader, but a time I tried listening to pages forgot where I was losing book marks. So I thought I would give a kindle a try because I wanted to read more and it was recommended by a friend. With the kindle it a joy to read and easy to use."
Another said: "Kindle was well packaged and fast delivery looks brand new."
Yet a less happy shopper wrote: "You can't download ALL your books at once, I don't have time to download one by one or even 25 at a time, neither add my 500 books one by one to a new collection and download the whole collection. What's the point of 16gb if you need to download a SINGLE book before read it, if that's the intention then Amazon could sell a 4gb version for less."
But another pleased reader said: "Brilliant buy. It goes everywhere with me."
The discounted Kindle is available on Amazon.

Major price drops on two of the most popular budget soundbars on Amazon
Two of the highest-rated, budget soundbars on Amazon are now on sale at a new low price - but the offers run out once they're gone. Creative has announced major price drops on its popular Creative Stage V2 and the Creative Stage soundbars while stocks last. Both offer 2.1 surround sound, with the V2 designed for the living room and the compact Stage a good choice for the home office or bedroom. The Creative Stage V2 is now available for £76.50 after applying a 15% discount voucher on Amazon (previously £99.99). A sleek, powerful soundbar and subwoofer combo that brings cinema-quality sound to the living room, it's powered by Sound Blaster's Clear Dialog and Surround audio technologies. The 2.1 setup includes dual custom-tuned mid-range drivers and a long-throw subwoofer for room-filling bass. It features multiple connectivity options including TV ARC, optical, AUX, Bluetooth 5.0, and USB audio, plus remote-controlled bass and treble adjustments. What users say "I am really impressed by the clear sound that this more moderately priced soundbar produces. The soundbar has simple sound modification options such as virtual surround sound and a setting for enhancing voice clarity with easy to use buttons on the remote." "For me, it was a good price, easy to install and a pleasure to use. The only minor criticism I have is that it remains in standby mode which these days is a no-no." Creative Stage is now available at £66.49, down from £79.99 on Amazon Designed to fit discreetly under monitors or TVs, this under-monitor soundbar delivers 160W peak power through dual mid-range drivers and a dedicated long-throw subwoofer. The result is crisp dialogue, detailed mids, and powerful bass. Equipped with extensive connectivity (Bluetooth, AUX-in, Optical, TV ARC, and USB MP3 playback), the Creative Stage also features a remote for EQ presets and tone adjustments. Its compact, minimalist design and included wall-mount kit make it a clutter-free upgrade. What users say "This is a good system for computer use or for smaller TVs/small room, however I think it would struggle connected to a big TV in a larger room to give a good sound field." "This would be worth every penny if it was £500 pounds, but it isn't, it is £80. I am thinking of buying another one as a spare, before someone wakes up and prices this properly!"
