Amazon Kindle Scribe deal Amazon Kindle Scribe 4.2-star average rating from 785 reviews on Amazon The Amazon Kindle Scribe is a larger, 10.2-inch ereader and digital notebook. It has a stylus to write or draw in books, notes and documents. You can also use it as a journal, and convert handwritten notes to text and send them to your email address if needed.

It can sync with your Amazon Kindle and Audible accounts to download your favorite ebooks and audiobooks.

Buy now pay later provider Zilch to launch first physical card
Zilch, which offers buy now, pay later for brands such as Amazon and Iceland, is launching its first physical card as part of a new partnership with Visa. The fintech, which has been named one of the fastest-growing in the UK, said it means more of its customers can make payments in stores. Zilch currently offers a virtual card, stored in its app or in people's mobile wallets, which links to customers' debit cards and means they can pay for shopping flexibly. People can choose to pay in full, or spread payments over six weeks or three months, at retailers from Primark and Asos to Just Eat and eBay. While the virtual card can be used in shops as well as online, Zilch said that nearly 80% of UK adults do not regularly use mobile wallets so having a physical card will drive more transactions. It is also set to open up buy-now-pay-later options for bigger purchases like home repairs, hotel check-ins, and car rentals. The cards will become available to its existing customers from September. The London-based company has grown its customer base to more than five million since launching five year ago and securing authorisation from the UK's Financial Conduct Authority. It reached a valuation of two billion dollars (£1.5 billion) in 2021 and was named one of the UK's fastest-growing fintech unicorns this year. Buy now, pay later providers like Klarna and Clearpay have come under new standards since legislation was introduced last month. It came amid concerns that a lack of regulation has led some of the 10 million people who use it to take on too much debt.

Buy now pay later provider Zilch to launch physical card
Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) lets shoppers delay paying in full, instead breaking up costs over several weeks or months. Providers have come under new standards since legislation was introduced last month. It came amid concerns that a lack of regulation has led some of the 10 million people who use it to take on too much debt. What is Zilch? Zilch, which has been named one of the fastest-growing in the UK, said it means more of its customers can make payments in stores. Zilch currently offers a virtual card, stored in its app or in people's mobile wallets, which links to customers' debit cards and means they can pay for shopping flexibly.

Recommended reading: What is the issue with buy now pay later? But, there are issues with all buy now pay later products, so it pays to be careful, as Aaron Peake, Personal Finance Expert at CredAbility, warns: 'While BNPL can be interest-free, it isn't risk-free. "What's worrying is how quietly it can cause damage, with many people not realising it's real debt until it's too late. "A few small missed payments can knock your credit score or trigger late fees, and in some cases, debt collectors get involved straight away. "What's worse, this could block your chances of getting a mortgage or even a decent phone contract."

One customer highlighted its all-around value, saying: 'Value for money it's a no brainer especially if you find it on a discounted price… Just change the watchface and it suits any situation.' Samsung Galaxy Watch7 £289 £214 Amazon Shop Product Description They also noted it lasted around 2.2 days with features like sleep tracking and Always On Display enabled. However, not everyone has had the same smooth experience. Another user mentioned performance issues after a recent update, particularly during exercise tracking: 'It now freezes the time and all activity. You have to look at it for 5 to 10 s for it to start display again… I have contacted Samsung support… They say they treat each case individually.' On the other hand, integration with Samsung phones has been a highlight for many. A reviewer wrote: 'This is a great watch from Samsung… Works well with my Samsung Galaxy S21 phone, and interacts perfectly with the Samsung Health app. The battery is good under constant use, normally lasting around three days.'

Yet, battery life was a sticking point for another user, who compared it unfavourably to much cheaper models: 'Just like my phone I have to charge this every single day. The battery life is so poor… How can a watch for £12 on Tiktok last for over a week yet a watch for over £200 isn't even lasting a day?' Still, others have found the watch to be a stylish and practical upgrade. As one person put it: 'This is a neat traditional watch replacement for those wanting smart watch function without looking silly… Media is good and payment tech works well… very impressed.' Still, for those deeply embedded in the Samsung ecosystem or looking for an Android-compatible smartwatch with robust features and AI support, the Galaxy Watch7 makes a compelling case.
