Whats the difference between Amazon Spring Sale and Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Spring Sale deals are open to all shoppers - you don't need to have Prime membership to take advantage of the low prices. But if you are a Prime member you might find some deals are better. During Prime Day, you can only get the deals by being a member.
When does Amazon Spring Sale end?
Amazon Spring Deal Days run from 25th - 31st March. So if you want to save on everything from baby essentials to beauty products, you don't have long. Each day has its own breakout theme, so if there's something specific you have your eye on, it could be worth checking on the right day! For instance, there are some amazing deals to snap up on toys now but the official toy deals day is on the 30th March so that could be the day to stock up on future gifts!
Kindles are now available at many different price points and allow readers access to an array of eBooks, audiobooks as well as magazines and newspapers via their super easy to use Kindle bookstore. If you’re an Amazon Prime member, you can access a selection of free reads with Prime reading and if that’s not enough, the Kindle Unlimited subscription unlocks thousands upon thousands of books to choose from leaving you spoilt for choice!
So, whether you’re in the mood for a romantic novel or maybe a gripping, page-turning drama, the choices are endless. Kindles are not just amazing for some parent downtime, the Kindle Kids Edition allows your little ones to access a library of children’s eBooks while also offering support and education with some of the additional features.
Amazingly long battery life, great storage and effective anti-glare screens are just some of the things you can expect from a Kindle, but which one should you go for?

How much screen time is recommended for children?
Children being exposed to excessive amounts of blue light can be worrying for parents, particularly with warnings that too much screen time can affect sleep as well as causing eye strain. The NHS recommends that “children should watch no more than two hours of television each day – and remove all screens (including mobile phones) from their bedroom at night.”
What’s the difference between ‘with ads’ and ‘without ads’?
You may notice when looking for a Kindle of your choice that some include the option of ‘with ads’ or ‘without ads’. The default 'with ads' setting is the cheaper option, but what is the difference?
Essentially, opting for your device to have ads means that your lock screen will display advertisements, however, this does not affect the function of the device. Alternatively, you can opt out of this for a slightly higher cost.
What is Kindle Unlimited?
Kindle Unlimited is a subscription service by Amazon which allows users to access over one million eBooks as well as thousands of audiobooks. For lighter reading, you can also access a vast collection of magazines and comics. Much like a library, you will be able to borrow up to 10 books at a time.
