This 10.2in ereader comes with a stylus, so you can make notes alongside whatever you’re reading. In bookworm Thomas Deehan’s guide to the best e-readers, he found that “the 10.2in screen is also lovely to use when reading at a table, and illustrations have plenty of room to spread out.” There’s a huge library of paper types to write on, too – from plain and ruled paper to day planners, to-do lists and diaries.

All of this comes at a price, though, with the device usually costing more than an entry-level iPad. A discount of almost 40 per cent – specifically, £155 – for Prime Day is welcome news.

Already the cheapest Kindle Amazon produces, this model has been reduced by 15 per cent in the retailer’s Prime Day sale. In tech critic Steve Hogarty’s guide to the best Kindles, he found that the standard kindle offers “Everything you need in a modern ereader with none of the frills.” He wrote that it boasts “a decently sharp, 6in, 300dpi e-ink display; around six weeks of battery life; USB-C charging; front-lighting using LEDs; and around 12GB of useable storage”.

Compared with pricier Kindles, the lighting is a stark blue-white when reading in the dark, rather than a warm amber, but if you’re looking for a basic Kindle, this deal is worth snapping up.

The Kindle paperwhite was tech expert Thomas Deehan’s favourite premium model in his guide to the best e-readers. In his review, he praised the Kindle Paperwhite for being “the most luxurious way of experiencing Amazon’s library of ebooks.” A big upgrade on the original ereaders for only a modest price increase, the screen size has shot up from 6in to 6.8in, with the same 300ppi resolution as the (now discontinued) Kindle oasis.

“As a new father who only has time to read during the early hours of the morning or when I’m settling into bed, the warm light on the Kindle Paperwhite is much appreciated at these times as it stops the backlight from feeling too harsh on your eyes, but still offering up enough clarity that you won’t be left squinting at what’s onscreen”, Deehan added. “The larger 7in display is also great for those who prefer having their text slightly bigger, with plenty of space for it to spread out.”

Now’s the time to buy, with Amazon reducing the Kindle Paperwhite to its lowest price over the past year this Prime Day.

The Kindle Colorsoft has a full-colour screen, adding a life-like vibrancy to your favourite books and magazines. And right now, it’s reduced by nearly £100. The e-ink display screen is glare-free and has an auto-adjusting front light. The device is also waterproof, making it perfect for reading by the pool, and it can last up to eight weeks on a single charge.

This signature edition version of the Paperwhite has an auto-adjusting front light for reading ease, and an impressive 32GB of storage to store plenty of books. It also features wireless charging, a 7in display screen and a single charge can last up to 12 weeks.The auto-adjusting light is what sets it apart from the regular Paperwhite model, and our reviewer noted that feature is great for summer holidays. He said this “neat addition” means “less faffing around with brightness settings when you move from the hotel bedroom to the sun lounger.” Now reduced by £45, it’s an ideal time to buy if you’re keen to try a Kindle or upgrade your existing ereader.
