Kindle deals: How to get the best e-reader offers and daily deals
Now available for £79.99, the Kindle can hold thousands of books at one time and is a great option for when you want to delve into good read this April.
Even if you're a massive technophobe, sometimes you have to admit a physical book can be a nightmare to carry around with you, especially if you're reading several books or headed on a long trip. However, the Kindle is an ideal way of taking a whole library with you in the palm of your hand.
The 2022 release of the Amazon Kindle can hold thousands of books at one time. It lasts for six weeks on a single charge, comes with built-in backlighting so you can read in the dark, has a six-inch 300 PPI high-resolution display, and will even support audiobooks via Audible.
There's a selection of different Kindle models to choose from, too, including Paperwhite and Scribe, plus the recently released Kindle Colorsoft, the first-ever e-reader in colour.
The RadioTimes.com Technology team are experts in pulling together the best deals for your favourite products, such as Nintendo Switch deals, and services, like Disney Plus deals and Audible deals, and this In this guide – which breaks down the best Kindle deals and offers this month – we'll show you models with ads, which will keep the cost down.
Kindle ads are usually found via banners on the homepage and on the screensaver; they're typically personalised and not too intrusive. However, if you don't want to see any ads, then you can do so by paying around 10 to 20 quid more. Simply choose the 'without ads' model to get rid of them.
For more on the Kindle, here's our guide to Kindle Unlimited, as well as the Kindle Colorsoft vs reMarkable Paper Pro.

Amazon has recently re-released its major models including the original Kindle, Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Scribe. Let's take a look.
Kindle | £94.99

Even this base model can be synced up with an Audible account so you can listen to audiobooks, too. It also has an adjustable front light so you can read your books at all times of the day or night — got to a juicy bit in your novel just as the sunlight is fading? Not a problem with the Kindle. What's more, if you're an Amazon Prime subscriber, you get unlimited access to more than a thousand books without any charge.
The ads are shown via 'sponsored screensavers' on the Kindle’s lock screen and in sleep mode. If you don’t want this, there's the option to buy a 'without ads' model.

What is Kindle Unlimited?
Kindle Unlimited is a subscription service which lets you enjoy millions of books, thousands of audiobooks, and countless magazines on any device.
The service lets you download content from the Kindle app, so you can read anywhere at any time.
You don't need to be an Amazon Prime member to make the most of Kindle Unlimited. You don't even need to be an Amazon Prime subscriber to get the most out of your Kindle, for that matter, as the service will set you back £9.49 regardless of whether you already have Prime.
Kindle Unlimited offers a free 30-day trial, so you can try it for a month before you decide whether to purchase.
However, being a Prime member comes in particularly handy on 8th and 9th October, as Prime members can now receive three months of Kindle Unlimited completely free. Sign in to your Prime account to view the offer and get reading.
What is Kindle Daily Deal?
Every day, Amazon announces which books have had a price slash (usually to 99p or for free) that you can download on your Kindle.
