If you’re wondering if you’re affected, check out the Kindle models that are missing this critical feature… Kindle (2nd Gen) International, Kindle DX International, Kindle Keyboard, Kindle (4th Gen) and Kindle (5th Gen) This offers a saving of almost £24 on the service which gives you access to a library of over a million e-books. So while you can’t get a price cut on your device of choice, you can still get plenty to read for free. If you want to do that, head over to this site where you can also trade in old Echos, Fire tablets, and Fire sticks. You can also trade in old Ring gadgets, as well as smartphones and consoles. The oldest Kindle you can trade in is the 3rd generation keyboard model, with 4th and 5th generation devices along with others available for trade in. The other option if you want a change is to switch to a different reader – with Kobo standing out if you want a non-Kindle device. There are some important differences between a Kobo and Kindle, with the Rakuten-made ereader supporting a wide range of ebook formats. This means that you are not tied to a single online store for your ebooks and can shop across multiple marketplaces. Also, none of the Kobo readers have ads, so you won’t see any offers on your sleep screen — instead, you’ll get a cover of the latest book you’re reading, which is a nice touch. If you want to buy a Kobo, head over to the official online store. The cheapest model is the Kobo Nia at £89.99 while the Kobo Clara HD – which is the Rakuten ereader that looks like a Kindle Paperwhite – is £119.99.
