This workaround could also help you avoid the latest price hikes
Amazon has marked down the price of its entry-level Kindle. You can get the e-reader with ads on sale for £94.99 — a generous drop from its RRP of £134.99. British retailer Currys has price-matched this sale too.
What makes this latest discount so exciting is that Amazon just announced a price hike across its Fire TV Stick lineup, and its expected to follow-up with a similar increase for its Kindle e-readers.
For those who don't know, a Kindle is a great alternative to lugging around one of your own books. It's lightweight and portable, so you can carry thousands of books wherever you go.
The glare-free display and adjustable front light make reading comfortable in any environment, day or night. Without notifications or apps to distract you, it offers a truly immersive reading experience.
Amazon sells Kindle models with adverts built-in at a discount. Ads appear as sponsored screensavers when the e-reader is in sleep mode, and show up as a Sponsored section in the main menu. These adverts do not appear elsewhere when you're browsing in the Kindle store or reading a book.
In comparison, the standard Kindle model without ads costs £159 — that's £24 more than the RRP of the ad-equipped one. However, if you want one of these e-readers for the sale price without the ads, there is a workaround.
Get £40 off the Kindle from Amazon
The newest Kindle is the lightest and most compact yet, featuring a brighter 6" glare-free display, higher contrast, and faster page turns. Its adjustable front light — now 25% brighter — and dark mode ensure comfortable reading anywhere.
With up to six weeks of battery life and 16GB of storage, it holds thousands of titles. Plus, if you get a Kindle Unlimited subscription, you can add millions more, and its design uses highly recycled materials.
You can buy the model with ads for the sale price, and then pay a one-time fee of £10 to turn them off for good. Even by spending the extra tenner, you're still saving £54 when you buy the Kindle on sale.
How to turn off ads on Kindle
Once you've purchased your new Kindle, follow these steps to turn off the ads displayed on the lock screen.
The Kindle is the lightest and most compact version so far, offering a brighter 6" glare-free display, improved contrast, and noticeably faster page turns for a smoother reading experience.
The adjustable front light, now 25% brighter at maximum, along with dark mode, makes reading comfortable in any environment. A single charge lasts up to 6 weeks, and the 16GB capacity stores thousands of books, magazines, and comics.
And if you have an old model lying around that you're looking to upgrade, Amazon will also knock off an additional 20% off the existing sale price. However, this additional 20% off is exclusive to Amazon, so you won't benefit from this extra discount if you decide to buy from Currys instead.
