IT is that time of year: bookworms can get a new Kindle reading device at a fantastic price in the Black Friday sales.
If you’re thinking of making the switch to e-reading — or you’ve got someone’s Christmas present in mind — then this is the perfect opportunity to buy.
To be honest, it’s not difficult to pick up a Kindle at a cheaper-than-usual price, thanks to the fact that Amazon often rolls out device sales.
But the best savings and price drops are always to be found in the November sales.
If you’re deciding between a Kindle exclusively for reading and a tablet that’s also capable of streaming and internet browsing, bear in mind that the entire Fire range is likely to be on sale.

What is the best Kindle you can buy in 2022?
There are a few types of Kindle on the market, so it’s best to decide which one is the right one for you before you hit the sales.
Take a look at the full range below.
Standard Kindle with a built-in front light
The standard e-reader is the most basic model Kindle offers.
It allows users to pick from thousands of titles, as well as sync their device to Bluetooth headphones and speakers to listen to audiobooks.
It has a long battery and a special no-glare screen which can be read even in direct sunlight.
While the adjustable front light lets you read comfortably for hours, indoors and outdoors, day and night.
Kindle Paperwhite
The Paperwhite is pretty close to reading an actual book, with a screen that replicates the look of paper and can be read in all lights, including in the dark.
The screen includes a backlight for those night-time insomniac readers and for those who simply can’t put books down when they get exciting.
Kindle Oasis
The Oasis is effectively an upgraded Paperwhite with a fresh design and the added bonus of being waterproof making it perfect for reading in the bath or by the pool.
It starts with double the amount of memory of the two cheaper models (8GB) and can also be upgraded to have a 32 or even 64GB hard drive to store the maximum amount of content.
Kindle Oasis with adjustable warm light
The latest 8GB Kindle Oasis now comes with adjustable warm light allows you to shift screen shade from white to amber. Like its previous version it is waterproof meaning you can read it in the bath or by the pool.
Kindle for Kids
Kindle Kids Edition is perfect if you want to get your little ones into reading.
It’s geared for reading books so has no games, ads or videos and zero distractions.
It also has glare-free black and white display and weeks of battery life for hassle-free reading.
