Newest Kindle hits lowest ever price in Amazon Prime Day deal with over £100 off
If you're a fan of e-readers and reckon your current gadget is past its prime, today might be the perfect time to splash out on a new one. Amazon Prime Day 2025 is here, and Amazon has slashed prices on its top-of-the-range Kindle, the Amazon Scribe, in a deal that's even better than we'd anticipated.
The latest generation Amazon Kindle Scribe is now available for £267.99, a whopping £112 off its usual price of £379.99. According to price comparison site Camelcamelcamel, this is the lowest price the Scribe has ever been listed for on Amazon.
For those seeking a more budget-friendly option, Amazon is also offering discounts of up to 31% on several other models, including the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, which is touted as the fastest ever Kindle, now reduced to £118.74 from £159.99.
The newest, second-generation Kindle Scribe, which was launched in December 2024, boasts a fresh design and updated software. With its 10.2-inch screen, it's the largest Kindle available - ideal if you prefer a larger display for reading.
But there's a reason for its size: the Scribe also functions as a notebook, allowing you to create your own E-Ink notebooks for personal or work purposes, reports the Express.
That's why the Scribe comes with a stylus pen included. Not only can you jot down notes, but you can also annotate e-books purchased from the Kindle Store. This feature is particularly handy if you enjoy making notes while reading for pleasure or research, and it's a real bonus if you're studying texts on your Kindle for school or university.
The Scribe's size isn't just about the screen. It boasts the best battery life of any Kindle, promising up to 12 weeks based on half an hour of reading per day, even with the backlight on. The Kindle is charged via USB-C, and while a cable is included in the box, there's no charger.

The update also allows you to jot down notes in the margins of e-books or write a sticky note to attach anywhere on the page, causing the words to flow around the note.

Amazon knocks £50 off 'strong and powerful' pressure washer 'great on garden tiles'
The handy cleaning tool has had its price slashed in a limited-time Amazon deal With the summer months here, many shoppers will be wanting to spruce up their outdoor spaces and give them a clean for parties, BBQs or even just relaxing outdoors. Getting a high quality pressure washer is a great investment to keep areas tidy, but finding one that is strong, powerful and affordable can take some time. Shoppers may be in luck, as they can grab the ETOOLAB Pressure Washer for £139.99 down from £189.99 on Amazon. This washer is said to offer a professional clean, reaching up to 160Bar pressure with 450 litres per hour of water flow, making it easy to remove moss from patios or even oil stains on driveways. Plus, it's also able to clean concrete, pavements, cars and swimming pools. With 1800W of pressure, this washer offers up to 30% water savings in comparison to ordinary models and also meets the British water saving standards - saving shoppers even more money over the longer team. Long gone are the days of dragging along a heavy washer, too, as this one is light and easy to move and comes with an external foam gun which produces foam quickly when needed. It comes with a seven metre high pressure hose, two rollers and an anti-tipping design, which means shoppers can have stability while cleaning. With four spray modes and nozzles - cracks and hard surface, concrete and brick, fences and wood decks, and windows and vehicles - shoppers have the choice to adapt the hose to whichever option is needed. If this isn't the one for everyone, there are a number of alternatives to choose from such as the Garden Force Jet Hawk Cordless Portable Pressure Washer for £35.50 from Yimbly. This has a 45-70 minute run time, is five times more powerful than a standard garden hose and can clean a range of things like cars, bikes, boots, windows and doors. Another is the Jml Starlyf Power Washer for £49.99 from Robert Dyas which is cordless, rechargeable and powerful. This washer is said to be a fast, fun and easy way to wash cars, bikes, houses, paths, gutters and driveways. The ETOOLAB Pressure Washer has a respectable 4.4 out of 5 star rating from over 100 reviews on Amazon. One person said: "Strong and powerful. Last week was very hot and it was the perfect time to get this electric power washer. It was very easy to set up and very light for a washer with such power. "It is strong and works very well for garden, driveway and for washing my car. Specially with four different nozzles that can be attached to the water gun for different cleaning makes the job so easy. The long hose make it easy to reach around easily without moving the washer." Another wrote: " Great little pressure washer, nice power behind it my patio slabs have never looked so good. I have literally been using this all weekend on various things. Has a nice long lead on it which is very handy. There's four various nozzles I'm trying to get used to best one for each job. "This certainly made my life so much easier especially on the patio tiles it works amazing. The pressure washing is nice and light but extremely powerful. There is also a foam feature I haven't used yet on the car .The nozzles are easy to change and sit in main handle so easily available to change." There were also some three and four star reviews from shoppers who weren't quite as pleased. One wrote: "I have tried different connections but the connection between the hose and unit still sprays water and leaks. The handle doesn't sit tight (even after tightening the screws as far as they will go) and have to use caution when moving the unit from place to place. The hose on the unit is not very flexible and can not be coiled properly." However, another glowing review reads: "I couldn't be happier with the ETOOLAB Pressure Washer. It delivers a strong 160Bar pressure and 450L/H flow rate that makes cleaning cars, patios, fences, and even my driveway a breeze. The four different nozzles are super handy for adjusting pressure based on the task, and the foam cannon works great for applying soap quickly and evenly. "The 15-meter hose gives me plenty of reach without constantly moving the unit around, which is a big time-saver. Setup was straightforward, and the build quality feels solid and durable. I've used it several times now, and it performs flawlessly every time. If you're looking for a powerful electric pressure washer that gets the job done with ease, this is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend."

This Bezos-backed EV startup is betting you'll pay extra for a stereo in your petite pickup
July 28 (Reuters) - n Will Haseltine saw images online of a small, boxy electric pickup from startup Slate Auto this past spring, he got on the waitlist right away. The sparse interior and crank windows reminded him of the no-frills pickups he grew up around in Memphis, Tennessee – but he was most enamored with the sub-$20,000 price tag. That price, though, factored in a $7,500 federal tax break, which is set to expire Sept. 30, a casualty of the budget package U.S. President Donald Trump signed into law earlier this month. Now Haseltine isn't sure the truck will fit his budget when it comes out, expected late next year. 'The Slate was the first time that I looked at a car, wanted it, and could also really make it happen," said Haseltine, a 39-year-old musical instrument technician. Without the tax credit, he said: "That's just plain too much." ichigan-based Slate has raised $700 million from investors, including opens new tab founder Jeff Bezos, and has racked up more than 100,000 reservations for its cars. But the company is launching into a tough U.S. market. A few years ago, the electric-vehicle space was awash in hopeful entrepreneurs looking to cash in on the global transition to electric cars. But U.S. EV sales growth has cooled as consumer interest has faded. The loss of federal tax breaks will further hurt demand, auto executives and analysts predict. Like other EV startups, Slate likely faces a long road to profitability. The EV business has proven to be a money loser for most industry players, partly because batteries remain relatively expensive. Even in China, where smaller, inexpensive EVs have proliferated and companies enjoy a cost advantage over Western automakers, most are unprofitable. Slate founders believe the company can overcome those obstacles by offering something that is in short supply in today's U.S. car market: affordability. The average new-vehicle selling price is above $45,000. 'We are building the affordable vehicle that has long been promised but never delivered,' Slate CEO Chris Barman said at a Detroit conference in July. The company has a chance to fill a void left by Tesla (TSLA.O), opens new tab, which has backtracked on plans to introduce a mid-$20,000s electric vehicle. The startup has taken a bare-bones approach to its two-seat pickup, which is slightly smaller than a Honda Civic hatchback. How bare-bones? A stereo and power windows will cost extra. Slate hasn't disclosed the cost of such add-ons. te's creation started with an idea from Miles Arnone, the CEO of Re:Build Manufacturing, a Massachusetts-based startup that includes several former Amazon employees. Arnone believed workers needed better access to affordable vehicles. Arnone shared his idea with Jeff Wilke, the company's chairman and a former Amazon executive, and eventually, a small team was formed. The group hired Barman, who spent most of her career as an engineering executive at Fiat Chrysler, now part of Stellantis ( opens new tab. Barman told Reuters recently that Slate will be able to absorb the loss of the $7,500 tax credit because the truck's price still will undercut competitors. The company plans to build the pickup at an old catalog factory in Warsaw, Indiana. Executives are taking steps to hold down costs, starting with a simplified design that uses about 500 parts in the truck's assembly, compared with a few thousand for a traditional truck. The plan to build all of its trucks in a basic package – what the company calls a 'SKU of one' – allows customers to choose to add a stereo, center console, special lighting, and other features later. The pickup will be built with composite body panels in gray, with an option for a vinyl wrap. That will sidestep the need for a paint shop, which is one of the most expensive investments in a typical car factory. late's minimalist approach is a leap of faith that Americans will forgo creature comforts they have been increasingly willing to splurge on. Last year, U.S. buyers spent 33% above the base price on average, springing for higher-end trim packages and extra features, according to opens new tab . That was up from 28% in 2014. But there is mounting evidence that new cars are becoming out of reach for many Americans. That could worsen under the effects of the Trump administration's tariffs, which threaten to increase prices on popular budget cars imported from Mexico, Korea and elsewhere. From that standpoint, Slate's price-conscious pickup might be hitting at the right time, said Paul Waatti, director of industry analysis at AutoPacific. 'There's a growing appetite, especially among younger drivers, for vehicles that are more honest, more modular and less over-engineered,' he said. 'Slate taps right into that.' Traditional automakers and startups have found mixed success rolling out larger electric pickup trucks in recent years. Now, startups like Slate and California-based Telo (TELO.V), opens new tab are focusing on smaller electric pickups. In a town hall meeting in early May, Ford (F.N), opens new tab CEO Jim Farley and Executive Chair Bill Ford told employees they admired the company's customer-centered ethos and focus on affordability. Tim Kuniskis, Stellantis' head of American brands, called Slate 'super interesting' at a June event, while also questioning how affordable it would be for some shoppers once they added all the options they wanted. 'The idea behind it, we've talked about that idea a million times,' he said. "It's a cool idea.'

Amazon's 'absolutely amazing' £50 'stylish' smartwatch is now £25
Shoppers said they were 'not disappointed' by this affordable piece of tech that 'looks stylish' Amazon shoppers have been praising a smartwatch that was discounted to almost half its usual price during a sale. People loved that it's a great tool to help "improve your health and lifestyle" and offers a "tough" design. The Blackview Military Smart Watch would cost £49.99, but it has been discounted to just over £25. The "rugged" piece of tech claims to get a full charge within 2.5 hours, which "can last up to 20-30 days in standby and up to 5 days in normal use." The "robust fitness watch" offers all you'd expect from a smart device for a fraction of the price of leading models like Apple and FitBit, like call, text and social media notifications. The watch comes with two "comfortable and skin-friendly wristbands" including a silicone and a nylon option. For the fitness fanatics, the waterproof watch offers a range of "real-time health monitoring functions" to make training and tracking progress effortless. With more than 100 different programmes, the watch can help "meet your different sports needs", Amazon adds. There are similar devices on the market for people wanting an affordable way into the smartwatch world without spending hundreds of pounds. For example, Sports Direct is offering this Karrimor Smart Watch (£19.99, down from £49.99) and the Reflex Active Series 23 Smart Watch from Currys (£39.99), but hundreds preferred this Amazon deal - and the 2,440 five-star reviews speak for themselves. One said: "I wanted an inexpensive Smart Watch and, after a fair bit of deliberating on Amazon, I chose the Blackview watch and I was not disappointed. It looks and feels more expensive than the modest price tag, does everything I need it to do and usually lasts at least a week on a full charge." Another added: "Absolutely amazing watch! It does everything it says on the tin, best part and my favourite part is the battery life. I charged it nine days ago and at the time of writing this I still have 37 % battery left, whereas my wife's brand new Apple Watch needs charging every other day." But, some were unhappy with their purchase though. One claimed: "The step count is out by not 100s of steps but thousands. Atrocious. Please spend a few extra pounds and get a decent one!" Another suggested: "It makes no sound whatsoever for notifications and the vibration is so light it is barely noticeable. Watch is that price for a reason." And, one more put in their review: "A decent watch for the 38 days it worked, currently sat on my wrist randomly vibrating and choosing as and when to show me the display. Not happy!" Despite this, other continued to praise the watch. One person wrote: "Fantastic for the price. People think it is expensive, but when I tell them the actual price, they are gobsmacked." Someone else put in their review: "It is so stylish and nice watch. I like it and always like to look how stylish I am wearing it. The battery backup is fantastic as it run for months. The features provided are excellent. Really good one."
