You also won't be distracted by the TurboForce Fan as it is designed to be quiet and discreet, meaning you can have it on your desk during a meeting and not cause any disruption.

Alternatively, if you need something a bit more sleek in its design, you can get the Dr. Prepare Oscillating Tower Fan from Amazon for £25.99. This device usually retails for £39.99 and is currently an Amazon top choice. However, if you are pleased with the design of the Honeywell TurboForce Power Fan , you aren't the only one as over 25,500 reviews have resulted in a 4.5 star rating on Amazon . One happy shopper wrote: "This fan has been a lifesaver during warmer days! The Honeywell TurboForce is surprisingly powerful for its size. It gives off a strong, steady breeze and really helps cool down the room quickly. I love that it's compact enough to fit on a table or shelf, but still has the power of a much larger fan. "It's also not too noisy, which makes it perfect for using in the bedroom or while working. I've been using it regularly and it's been super reliable. Honestly, for the price, it's one of the best fans I've bought – efficient, sturdy, and does exactly what you need. Highly recommend it!" Another shopper added: "I'm a woman of a certain age constantly trying to cool down and I've spent hundreds on various fans that don't do the job! "However this little beauty is amazing and one of the best fans I own. In fact, it's so good I bought two. Take my word for it, any ladies out there needing to cool down at night and feel a breeze, this fan is for you!!!!" While a third five-star reviewer added: "This fan is so much better and bigger than I was expecting. I am 100% satisfied and so glad that I got this one. "It circulates the air in my flat so well that it feels so refreshing and at the same time it is cooling the air which is a super bonus for me. The fan is super powerful on the 3 gears. Thank you so much. I am super happy with this fan." However, despite the vast majority of shoppers having a positive experience with the Honeywell Fan, not everyone was as impressed. One shopper noted: "Works average, manageable right now, but needs to upgrade if the temperature rises." With another shopper adding: "The fan itself is actually great, gives a good amount of power with 3 different strengths. My issue is the on and off button/dial. Awful... Cannot be done with one hand, you have to hold the entire fan and it's just not easy to do." If you want to buy the Honeywell TurboForce Power Fan while it is under £20, you can get it HERE .

Amazon must face authors' lawsuit over audiobook distribution, US judge rules

June 11 (Reuters) - (AMZN.O), opens new tab must face a lawsuit by independent authors accusing the e-commerce giant of monopolizing the retail market for audiobooks and causing them to overpay for the distribution of their works, a federal judge ruled on Wednesday. U.S. District Judge Jennifer Rochon in the federal court in Manhattan rejected, opens new tab for now Amazon's bid to dismiss the proposed class action by author Christine DeMaio, who publishes under the name CD Reiss. Reiss sued last year, alleging Amazon's audiobooks unit Audible violated antitrust law by charging higher distribution fees for independent and self-published writers who decline to participate in a program that makes Amazon the exclusive distributor for books on Audible for 90 days. The program offers self-published authors 40% royalties for book distribution, compared with 25% for authors who chose non-exclusive, competitive distribution. Amazon and Audible did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Amazon has denied any wrongdoing, saying the audiobook market is 'healthy and competitive.' Steve Berman, a lead attorney for Reiss, on Wednesday said they welcomed Rochon's order and looked forward to the next phase of the litigation. Audible is the world's largest audiobook retailer, accounting for more than 60% of domestic purchasing compared with about 20% for Apple, according to the lawsuit. Amazon, in seeking dismissal of the lawsuit, said Reiss had shown no evidence that Audible's program had induced any authors to sign an exclusive deal. Amazon also told Rochon that it was lawful for the company to spend more resources promoting its exclusive content than on other titles. The lawsuit seeks more than $5 million in damages and class action status for thousands of authors. The case is CD Reiss v. U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington, No. 2:24-cv-00851.

Leading beauty retailer triggers frenzy with 75% close down sale as it shuts location in days

Ulta Beauty is offering massive discounts at its soon-to-be closed store in Illinois. The retailer is set to close its Chicago store in the Roosevelt Collection Shops area on Saturday after 12 years. Because of this closure, shoppers are rushing to purchase select items available for up to 75 percent off. The beauty chain has not said why this location is closing, but the company has admitted to not being 'immune' to economic pressures. 'Value is an increasingly important priority as they navigate ongoing wallet pressures,' Ulta Beauty CEO Kecia Steelman said in a statement. Factors playing a part of these financial challenges include the growth of online shopping, same-day delivery expectations, and tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump. The chain is also facing heavy competition with retailers like Sephora and Bluemercury and e-commerce giants such as LovelySkin and Amazon. Despite the challenges, Ulta Beauty will continue operating over 1,450 locations worldwide after the store closure. Select products are on sale at the soon-to-be-closed for up to 75% off Sales on particular Ulta Beauty products have slowly dipped, and the chain has had a 7 percent decline in customer visits per quarter. However, the chain finished off its first quarter with a significant rise in revenue. The chain's net sales increased by 4.5 percent to $2.8 billion, and its comparable sales rose 2.9 percent. The company credited its comparable sales growth and new store contributions for its 'stronger-than-expected performance.' Steelman also noted the chain's Ulta Beauty Unleashed plan has also played a part in the improvement. 'Our Ulta Beauty Unleashed plan is resonating with guests, energizing our team, and fueling growth' The operating environment is fluid, and our outlook reflects uncertainty around how consumer demand could evolve,' Steelman said. 'We believe our model uniquely positions us to win, and we will continue to focus on serving our guests while staying agile as we move through the year.' Some of the new enhancements that are part of the plan include C-suite appointments and various digital and store upgrades. Ulta Beauty is planning to grow and has managed not to experience mass closures this year. However, some popular retailers weren't so lucky. Torrid recently announced its plan to shutter up to 180 stores following its latest sales decline. Pharmacies have also been suffering financial challenges. Rite Aid is planning to permanently close 111 stores after filing for bankruptcy for the second time. Customers have also gotten makeup and various beauty products from Forever 21, the now-defunct chain that shuttered all stores by last month. Other retailers offering beauty products while hanging on by a thread include Macy's, JCPenney, and Neiman Marcus.
