What people said

“A kindle - my grandad got me one when I was 11 and it lasted till I was 22. I bought the same model for €99 a few years ago and it’s been a life saviour for any form of travelling and books are cheaper online. The ease of use, battery etc have greatly increased my reading habits!”

“My Kindle. I can take hundreds of books with me everywhere I go meaning I'm never at a loss for something to do. I didn't read for years before I got it but it's seriously my most valued possession”

“Kindle Paperwhite has literally saved me around 2 - 3 hours per night trying to get to sleep. I now read until the book falls out of my hand, which is usually 10 - 30 minutes. Lifechanging.”
