Kindle advice needed

[Canshopwillshop]

My 10 year old DD would like a Kindle for Christmas. I don't know much about them but was thinking of the Kindle Paperwhite - is that a good choice? She already has an Ipad mini so doesn't need anything which plays games etc.
Thanks.

Can you get a paperwhite for less than £99 from anywhere does anyone know?

The cases look lovely somebody

Dancer you can sometimes get refurbished paperwhites from Amazon, plus they are on ebay if you fancy bidding on one.

Ooh might have to get myself a Kindle just so I can have one of those cases!

I love my kindle paperwhite, I got it in August from Argos. It's the wifi and 3G version which was on offer at £119 with a £20 off voucher for Argos to use in any dept. so effectively it was £99. They had an offer at the time that if you bought a kindle you could get a proper kindle cover for £15 instead of £30. It was a real bargain so maybe have a look on their website to see if they have anything like that at the moment x

Can you get a paperwhite without wi-fi? I want it just for reading device.

Dancergirl, do you mean that you don't have wifi? Then you would need the 3g one so you can download the books. The wifi / 3g is just how you get the books on there in the first place. It is just a reading device.

I love my paperwhite!! I use it daily, i did try the kindle app on my phone, but was too easily distracted with mumsnet and fb! Maybe have a look on eBay for a 2nd hand or reconditioned one op? There are a few professional sellers with great feedback who offer guarantees

The Paperwhite is perfect.

And your DD isn't spoilt at all.

Canshop, I didn't think I'd take to a Kindle at all for reading fiction, so I didn't want to spend the extra on a Paperwhite just for the odd reference book reading. But as I use it extensively now for leisure reading I wish I'd got the Paperwhite for the easier reading (I wear contact lenses and have to swap to my glasses later on if reading in bed). I'd quite like a touch screen too, as I am very lazy.

I bought DS a Nook for his birthday but I prefer my Kindle, although that could be familiarity.

Thank you everyone. I have decided on the Paperwhite for her - just need to look around for the best bargain.

Oh I see lumpy yes we do have wifi but I thought that it meant you can access the internet from the device

Me too canshop

Thanks eighty have bought from Groupon

there are different models of paper white so make sure you are getting the latest one ( the 2014 model) as its considerably better than the previous model

Dancer, that would be the Kindle Fire, which is a tablet first and a kindle second. All the others are just black and white reading devices.

I'm holding my new paperwhite in my hands.
