Kindle (are there different types?)

Sorry for such a basic question, but my husband would like an Amazon Kindle for Christmas and I am not sure if there are any deals, and if there are different types?

He has an Iphone, he commutes to London each day on the train and this is most likely the time he will use it.

If you could advise if there are different types and if there are any good deals I would be most grateful

Many thanks

    There are two types of kindle - the cheaper version (£109) requires a WIFI connection to download books, whilst the more expensive (£149) uses 3G technology like that of a mobile phone to allow you to download books anywhere.

    No deals to be had they are the same price everywhere, Although not many places sell them.

    If you see them on offer they could be the older models, 2nd hand or a scam. Be careful.

    Almost bought one yesterday from amazon site but thought not yet, Lucky as my daughter
    has changed her mind & doesnt think she will use it. Phew...saved.
