One of Amazon's most loved product ranges is its Kindle ereaders. They're affordable, portable, and a great alternative to physical books. And this Black Friday, we've finally been treated to a first-time deal on the brand-new Kindle Paperwhite in the US and the UK.

You can now grab the Kindle Paperwhite at Amazon in the US for $129.99 (was $159.99). Meanwhile, UK customers can also benefit from the price drop, getting the Kindle Paperwhite for £124.99 (was £159.99). As this is the first price drop for the all-new design, these are naturally record-low prices for the capable and versatile ereader.

The Kindle Paperwhite is better than the standard Kindle and is designed for people who want the very best reading experience. The Kindle is ideal for shorter reading sessions, whereas the Paperwhite comes into its own during extended reading times or for the most avid bookworms.

The larger seven-inch display has E-Ink technology with 300 pixels per inch resolution, while the clarity is impressive and guarantees an enjoyable reading experience in multiple light conditions and environments. It's also thin and lightweight so easy on the wrist if you really get stuck into a book.

When we tested the new version for our Amazon Kindle Paperwhite review we appreciated the refreshing familiarity of the ereader while also praising the larger screen and better performance. A worthwhile upgrade, then, in our opinion.

If you'd like to explore other options, then check out our best ereaders guide. If you'd like something more versatile and feature-rich, then you'd be better off with one of the best tablets, including Android and iPad slates.
