Yesterday after posting an article about how Amazon hasn’t been placing Kindles on sale almost as regularly as they used to, they went put the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Version on sale for $159.99. Bizarre timing.
Nevertheless, it’s one other Prime unique sale so it’s a must to be an Amazon Prime member to get the deal, and it’s solely $30 off so my level yesterday about how the sale costs are larger now once they do run gross sales stays legitimate (the truth is I feel that’s the best sale worth ever for SE; it’s normally $45-$65 off when it’s on sale).
There may be an attention-grabbing twist to this sale, although. Whereas a Prime membership is required to get the sale worth on the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Version alone, the Signature Version bundle packages are additionally on sale they usually don’t require a Prime membership. Yeah, that makes a whole lot of sense.
The Kindle Paperwhite Signature Version Necessities Bundle may be had for $207.97. It contains the SE Paperwhite, a cloth cowl, and a wi-fi charging dock.
In addition they have a distinct model of the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Version Necessities Bundle on sale with the leather-based cowl and charging dock for $214.97.
In each circumstances they promote the sale as being $50 off than when shopping for all the things individually, however I’m fairly certain they’re each $30 off the common costs, identical as shopping for the SE alone.
That is the primary sale on the Kindle Paperwhite all 12 months, except the youngsters mannequin final month. Kindle gross sales aren’t as frequent as they was, and the costs are at all times larger now when they’re on sale, so one thing has undoubtedly modified at Amazon with reference to Kindles, however at the very least Kindle gross sales are nonetheless round to a point. Getting $30 off continues to be higher than having to pay full worth, and now that the 8GB Kindle Paperwhite is out of inventory and presumably being phased out, the SE is simply $10 dearer than the common 16GB Paperwhite, and also you don’t must pay an additional $20 to eliminate the adverts for the reason that SE is ad-free by default.
