A hint of what’s to come in publishing and media, the Kindle is yet to really take off in the UK but pundits believe next year could be a different story.

At just over a third of an inch thick and weighing around 10.2 ounces, the Kindle is a veritable mobile library, with the capacity to hold up to 1,500 books. It also has an experimental text-to-speech feature, which means it can read out loud to you (perfect for bedtime stories).

At the moment there are more than 350,000 books available on the Kindle, including many newspapers, magazines and blogs. And its in-built WiFi means you can download them from a variety of locations.

Price: £160
