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.

Amazon has recently updated the software on the Scribe, which you will receive for free. This includes AI-powered notebook summarisation, capable of distilling pages of handwritten notes into word-processed text summaries - perfect for breaking down meeting notes or capturing your long-term thoughts in a few paragraphs.
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 has confirmed that this deal will be available throughout Prime Day, from July 8 to July 11, but only while stocks last. To find out more about Amazon Prime Day sales and discounts, click here.

Tesco shoppers have less than a week to earn 1,000 'bonus' Clubcard points
Clubcard users will need to act fast. Tesco shoppers can earn even more Clubcard points with one neat trick. However, they have less than one week left to ensure they don't miss out. Those who are signed up to the supermarket's popular loyalty scheme can earn points on their shopping, with a voucher worth £5 being made up of 500 Clubcard points. These vouchers can then be used to save money on any future shops both in store and online, or they can be doubled in value when redeemed against one of the retailer's Rewards Partners. However, Tesco is now offering its customers an extra 1,000 'bonus' points, worth £10 of vouchers, when they choose to spend their vouchers with one of their 'Days Out' partner companies. This means that families can earn the extra points and book a fun trip at a range of popular places such as Blackpool Pleasure Beach, The London Eye, Chessington World of Adventures, and more. It is worth noting that the incentive will only be available until Tuesday, July 29, with the extra 1,000 points being credited to the eligible Clubcard account by Sunday, October 19. To qualify for the extra £10 worth of points, members will need to exchange a minimum voucher worth £5 for a Days Out Clubcard Rewards Partner code either through the Tesco website or app. Shoppers don't even need to redeem their extra points on a day out, as one Martin Lewis Money Saving Expert has advised that bargain hunters don't need to book a day out to reap the benefits. In the latest edition of the MSE newsletter, a financial expert has explained that, once the extra 1,000 points are transferred to the Clubcard account on October 19, they can be used to get £10 off a food shop. They can also be used to get £20 off with any of the supermarket's Rewards Partners, just not the 'Days Out' partners. This means they can still be redeemed against the likes of Disney+, RAC, Virgin Atlantic and much more. As is the case with all Clubcard vouchers issued, they will be valid for two years from the date they were issued. However, shoppers looking to save them up can extend them when they make a small purchase on the Tesco Clubcard website, with the remaining balance being credited back as points. These will then be reissued as new vouchers when a new batch is issued after the two year expiry date, For example, a 50p purchase on a £10 voucher will then be reissued as £9.50.

Tesco's Clubcard scheme currently allows for its members to earn one point for every £1 spent in store and online, or for every £2 spent on fuel at one of its forecourt. A minimum of 150 points is needed to earn a voucher worth £1.50. First launched in 1995, the largest UK supermarket's point-based scheme is now said to be used by 20million households across the country. For more information on how to earn the extra 1,000 points with a Days Out Rewards Partner, shoppers can visit the Tesco website.

Amazon reduces ‘unbelievably sharp' kitchen gadget from £30 to £17 – it's 6-in-1 and will SLASH meal prep time
AMAZON shoppers are rushing to snap up a time-saving kitchen gadget that's been slashed by 43%. The retail giant has reduced this 6-in-1 vegetable chopper - which has over 24,000 five-star reviews - from £29.99 to just £16.99. 2 Fullstar 6-in-1 Vegetable Chopper, £29.99 £16.99 BUY FROM AMAZON The Fullstar vegetable chopper has been purchased over 5,000 times in July and is an 'Amazon's Choice' product, which are well-priced, highly-rated items with fast shipping. The last great kitchen deal we spotted on Amazon was on a Ninja knife block during the Prime Day sale. This deal, by contrast, is available to everyone, not just Prime subscribers. Perfect for summer salad season, this handy little chopper contains six stainless steel blades, a finger guard, and a cleaning brush. These six blades include a fine dicer, a medium dicer, a grater, a shredder, a julienne (ribbon) blade, and a slicer. That means you can grate cheese, dice an onion, julienne a courgette, and plenty more - this is a great chance to spice up and speed up your mealtimes. Whether you're trying to jazz up a plate of veggies for your kids or you're struggling with old, dulled kitchen knives, this Amazon deal looks like a smart purchase. The blades are not only extra-sharp (hence the safety features and finger guard) but they're strong and durable too, made of 420J stainless steel. The extra-hard ABS plastic container can take use after use, not cracking under all the vegetables being chopped, no matter how thick or coarse. The chopper would also suit those who are getting less able to cook and be nimble in the kitchen, as the device requires 'only a little pressure to chop' and creates less mess and washing up in the meantime. Amazon shoppers have already taken to the review section to rave about this smart chopper, praising its functionality, ease of use, and value for money. Many customers have commented on how efficient it made cooking and meal prep. 'If you want to save time in the kitchen, you need this! It's a great buy,' writers one buyer. Another says: 'This contraption is AMAZING! It saves so much time in the kitchen.' Others have loved the impact it's had on kids and fussy eaters, with one parent commenting: '[It] converted my children to salad eaters. They don't normally eat salad, but they enjoyed this device so much they ate large plates of [it] for dinner after!' This isn't the only Amazon deal the Sun Shopping team has written about recently. Anyone look for iPhone charging should look at an 'ultra-slim' Magsafe power bank slashed from £160 to £20. Those looking for protection against the sun and rain in this summer shouldn't miss a garden gazebo that's been cut by 21%.

No plans to get Big Tech to pay digital law compliance costs, EU tech chief says
BRUSSELS, July 23 (Reuters) - The European Commission will not ask Alphabet (GOOGL.O), opens new tab, Amazon (AMZN.O), opens new tab, Apple (AAPL.O), opens new tab, ByteDance, Meta Platforms (META.O), opens new tab and Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab to pay the cost of monitoring their compliance with a new digital law, the EU tech chief said on Wednesday. Germany and European Parliament lawmakers have lobbied for a supervisory fee to be levied on Big Tech to help EU antitrust regulators better enforce the Digital Markets Act. The European Commission Executive Vice-President Henna Virkkunen, who is responsible for the technology sector, said rules were always under review and she would monitor developments, but had no plans to make the companies pay despite the enormous volume of monitoring work. "So it's always, of course, there is this possibility, but now we are not having any new proposal on that," Virkkunen told Reuters in an interview. The landmark legislation, which has been enforced since 2023, sets out a list of dos and don'ts aimed at curbing the six companies' power and giving consumers more choice. The group of Big Tech companies, which includes were picked because they provide a core platform service for business users. Proponents of a DMA supervisory fee said it should be similar to the levy imposed on big online platforms subject to another piece of legislation called the Digital Services Tax that requires companies to do more to police content on their sites. The digital services supervisory fee amounts to 0.05% of a company's annual worldwide net income.
