This guide is for UK Kindle owners who want to protect their e-reader and get more out of it. It's also for anyone buying a small Christmas or birthday present for a keen reader. Start by checking which Kindle you have, because most cases and screen protectors fit one model only. Then pick what matters most to you: protection, colour or light for reading in the dark.
