How do I access Kindle material?
The easiest way to get access to Kindle books is with an Amazon Kindle device. There are a total of three Kindles available on the market: the Kindle priced from £69.99, the Kindle Paperwhite, at £119.99 and the Kindle Oasis for £229.99.
The cheapest of the three options is the Kindle, priced from £69.99; a device that is 'purpose-built' for reading. It's front light has 4 LEDs, which is 21 LEDs less than the Oasis, but still enough to read indoors and outdoors, day or night.
The 167 ppi glare-free display 'reads like printed paper' and has been designed to withstand even direct sunlight.
As well as digitising your book collection, the Kindle also allows you to interact with your favourite texts by highlighting passages, looking up definitions, translating words and adjusting text size.
Whereas an 'entry-level' Kindle has an indented screen, the Paperwhite, priced from £119.99, has an all-glass front that gives it a slightly more expensive feel and look.
The Paperwhite is also said to have greater durability, an improved frontlight and greater features surrounding Audible, Bluetooth and water-resistance.
The all-new Oasis, priced at £229.99, meanwhile, has further additional components including adjustable light sensors, an ergonomic design and an auto-rotating page orientation as seen on modern smart phones.
What is 'better' comes down to personal preference. Despite the added features on the Paperwhite and Oasis, many still opt for the original Kindles smaller and lighter design.
Elsewhere in Amazon's Kindle Store, deals have also been placed on a series of refurbished devices and accessories including leather covers have also been discounted by at least 20%
