Huge €120 incentive as Amazon offers ultimate Kindle upgrade
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info If you're an avid reader who devours a good number of books each month, or finds it challenging to pack all your volumes when jetting off on holiday, a Kindle might be on your radar. Amazon's popular e-readers are a fantastic way to tote around hundreds or even thousands of books in your bag, ensuring you always have something to read. Currently, Amazon has cut the price of one of its most proficient Kindles. If you reckon you'd appreciate the largest screen on a Kindle, this could be the deal for you. The 2022 Kindle Scribe is now down to €274, a €100 reduction from the usual €394 RRP. Although Amazon launched a second version of the Scribe in 2024, they are functionally identical, and the 2022 model has received all the latest software updates that the newer model gets. The newer version is currently priced at least €452, so opting for the 2022 version at €274 saves you a whopping €178 on the ultimate Kindle experience. Having extensively used the 2022 Kindle Scribe, I can attest that it's a pleasure to read on, thanks to its 10.2-inch display - yes, it's large, but it allows more text on a page, and even when you enlarge the text size, there are still several words on a line, unlike on smaller screen Kindles, reports the Express. The screen boasts the same pixel density as smaller Kindles, the frontlight is excellent making reading in the dark effortless, and the battery can last for weeks, if not months. The Scribe comes equipped with Amazon's Basic Pen, which never requires charging, allowing you to write on this Kindle, be it for making notes in e-books or creating blank notebooks. This means you can carry your entire library of books and use it as a notebook for personal or work jottings. One minor gripe is that unlike rival Kobo e-readers, you can't directly write onto e-book pages as you would in a physical book. Instead, you have the option to insert boxes on the page to jot down notes, which the text then wraps around. While I find this slightly cumbersome, it's better than not having the feature at all. Personally, I prefer to utilise the large screen for reading and primarily use the Scribe as a notebook. New AI features available via a free software update allow the Scribe to summarise your notes. This proves useful after lengthy meetings, as it can convert your handwritten notes into typed bullet points or sentences. You can also access your notebooks and any in-book annotations in the Kindle app for iPhone or Android, making the Scribe an excellent choice if you want all your data synchronised across devices.

Also on sale is the larger version of the Kindle Paperwhite Kids, which is now $40 off. It comes with a glare-free screen, waterproof features, plus all the other specs the smaller Amazon Kindle Kids has. (Again, it has no ads for the adults who want to use it for themselves.)

Those include the standard Amazon Kindle and the more elite Amazon Kindle Paperwhite.$139.99 at $104.99 at $66.82 at $72.48 at Now that you've got your Kindle, it's time for the fun part: buying some books!
