From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Amazon Prime Day 2.0 is finally here and our dedicated IndyBest team will be rounding up the biggest discounts during the two-day sale period.

After the first Prime Day of 2022 took place in July, the online retailer has rolled out a second shopping event featuring a mammoth amount of deals on everything from TVs, Apple products, tech, kitchen appliances, household essentials and laptops.

With Christmas around the corner and energy bills soaring, there’s no better time to enjoy a bargain, especially across big-ticket tech items, such as an Apple Watch or new Samsung 4K TV.

As you would expect, some of the biggest offers are across Amazon’s own devices and we’ve made it our mission to handpick the very best deals to bring to your attention.

Our latest find? Almost 30 per cent off the 2021 edition of the Amazon Kindle paperwhite. We’ve tried it too, and as a result, it has earned our IndyBest seal of approval. Read on to find out why this is an unmissable bargain.

Amazon Kindle paperwhite: Was £129.99, now £94.99, Amazon.co.uk

Calling keen readers everywhere, Amazon has slashed the price of the Kindle paperwhite by £35. Perfect for reading on the go or on an upcoming holiday, it’s slim and streamlined, taking up little space in your handbag, much less so than bulky books.

Whether you want to treat yourself or gift to a loved one for Christmas, it’s a worthwhile buy. In our review of it, we discovered it to have smoother lighter and 20 per cent faster page turning than its predecessors.

Its features are endless – it has 6.8in screen, smaller bezels, an adjustable warm light, increased LED backlighting for more even illumination, and USB-C charging. There’s even audiobook integration through Audible too.

Our reviewer said: “The all-new Kindle paperwhite is the best Kindle Amazon has made, narrowing the feature gap between the mid-range Kindle paperwhite and the high-end Kindle oasis enough that we can’t recommend the most expensive Kindle over the newest one.”
