To share my excitement for 2019 with my readers I’m giving away an All-new Kindle Paperwhite which released just a few months ago. The newest version is thinner and lighter for the ultimate portability, it’s waterproof so you can take it to the beach or read in the bath and it has 8GB storage. Before I started reading ebooks I was always concerned about battery life and the inconvenience of having to charge devices, but the battery life lasts weeks!
The Kindle Paperwhite connects to the internet with wifi, but also comes with Bluetooth so can be paired with speakers or headphones for listening to music and audiobooks. The kindle has made massive leaps in terms of technology, with in built lights and a responsive touch screen making it comparable to bigger budget tablets, whilst features like being waterproof give it a new edge on the market.
Check out the full features of the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite – and you can also buy your own if you’re not lucky enough to win this competition, with prices starting from £129.99
The competition will close on 30th January at 23:59 GMT. 1 winner will be randomly selected by Gleam and I will email you to confirm delivery address the next day. To enter, leave a comment telling me your favourite book, with extra entries for social media actions. Following me on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook will get you information about my new posts – including some really exciting competitions coming this year.

The power of Now
Freakonomics. I loved this book, though I think the title is a bit misleading. It’s not really about economics. In fact, the author is showing you what interesting things you can discover when you apply statistical analysis to problems where you wouldn’t normally think of using it. I use statistical methods a fair amount in my own work, so I found it particularly interesting. Recommends it for: People Who Appreciate the Value of Social Science
