Amazon has now officially kicked off its Black Friday sale and several of the retailer's ever-popular Kindle devices are on offer. That includes record-low prices for some of the latest models, including the Amazon Kindle for $79.99 (was $109.99) in the US and the Amazon Kindle for Amazon Kindle down to £69.99 (was £94.99) in the UK. It's one of the few times I've seen it discounted over the last 12 months.

The Amazon Kindle did briefly hit $84.99/£74.99 a few months ago during Prime Day, but the latest model simply doesn’t go down in price that often. This is the time to buy if you’re an avid reader. It’s also perfect timing for thinking about gifts this Christmas.

In our Amazon Kindle review, we gave it four stars, citing some concerns that it isn’t a true upgrade over the previous model. However, if you haven’t owned a Kindle before (or for a while), you’ll appreciate its “brighter screen light” and “better performance with minimal ghosting.” It remains the best Kindle for anyone on a budget, with its Matcha green colorway being particularly attractive.

The best ereader market is an increasingly varied one, but for many people, the simplicity of the Kindle ecosystem makes it an easy choice to make. While the best tablets also allow you to use the Kindle app, by using a dedicated Kindle, you won’t have to worry about being distracted by notifications.

It’s also small enough to toss into your bag, so, at any moment throughout the day, you can sneak in a few pages. I’ve found that owning a Kindle has led me to read a lot more in recent years.

For anyone considering spending a little more, there are other Kindle deals available. If you need more functionality, there are numerous tablet deals too if you want something more powerful or feature-rich.
