Unlike tablets, Kindle Paperwhite is designed to deliver the best reading experience
No screen glare in bright sunlight
Read with one hand—over 30% lighter than iPad mini
Battery lasts weeks, not hours
Next-gen built-in light—read without eyestrain
CamelCamelCamel.
Not much of a deal when this is one with ads.
Next gen local stock was on sale for 139, 142, 148, 149 etc, check previous deals.
I picked up the 2nd gen one from David Jones for $155… and they even sent me the 3G version. Score!
iPad for reading compared to e-ink? You really have no idea what you are talking about.
Ok. So this guy hasn't heard about the kindle paper white, as he lists one of eink's main(only?) disadvantage as having no back light.
Also, I don't agree what he's saying about refresh rates.
He also doesn't care much for battery life it seems.
Currently:
$175.29 shipped from Amazon
$179.00 at Dick Smith
$178.00 at Big W
So this is a saving of $34+ .. but it's the one with advertising which is $20 in the USA so it's about $14 cheaper if there could be a proper comparison.
I'm holding out on BigW or DSE reducing it again.
$159 at Target. For $18, I'd take no shipping, no hassles with warranty and no waiting for delivery.
(if I didnt already have two of them)
Ooooh! Wonder how long that price will last. Not as low as it's been, but that's a price I'd pay.
Can't find on their website or in their current and future catalogs .. at any price. Are you sure it's available from Target?

Nice find!
If you decide to risk going through DWI be sure to pay with paypal or at least with credit card. And if you find you need to return it for any reason be sure to use a method with tracking AND a signature.
Buyer beware with DWI, huge thread on WP, mixed reviews & experiences.
Reason I went genuine Amazon….
119USD without ads
Huh ? The link still shows US$119 with ads US$139 without. It also says the "without ads" is only available to the US
where is the $20 off ??
I ordered one of these 8 days ago, chased it last night and Amazon said "sorry lost in postage - refund or replace ?" which I chose replace. I'd like to hit them up for a $20 discount to match this deal
Reckon it must have passed midnight in US so "today only" has gone….
after some haggling on their chat, they've refunded me $20….as I was on the chat I found their price match policy only applies to TV's & "cellphones"
