Using the Coupon Code (CPICKUP15) posted in from this deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/195201

I was able to get the Kindle paper for $109 pickup in store.

This is the cheapest I have seen it ever. The next best deal I have seen would be this one. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/188223

Thanks.

    • Gravy on 22/05/2015 - 09:31

      Not really. Its a question of E Ink vs LCD. If you want something just for reading than an E Ink reader such as Kindle or Kobo is the way to go, even though their features are way less than an Android tablet and generally the UI is a lot clunkier, for reading books they walk all over an Android tablet.

        There are some good reading apps for Android and you can always adjust the colour, brightness etc.
        I have always thought these tablets designed just for reading would become obsolete.

        • theguyrules on 22/05/2015 - 09:48
          +5

          I don't think they well, considering how well they sell.
          Even the best reading apps for LCD tablets don't come close to reading on an E-ink display, as e-ink is basically the same as reading a printed book. No strain from having to deal with a harsh backlight, and then theres the battery life, which is extremely good on E-ink readers.

          p.s Just put through an order for one based on our OzB community's reccommendation for this device :)

          +2

          Android reading apps are fantastic I agree, its really just a difference in the screen and battery life. With e-ink, once you turn the page it doesnt really take any battery power to hold the image on the screen (unless you have the frontlight turned on with some models). You can remove power from an eink screen completely, even pull the battery and the image will still stay on the screen. You can read an eink screen in full sunlight, there is no washout (although some glare at certain angles).

          @kamban:

          Just don't expect the fluidity of screen response that you get with an Android tablet and you should be happy. Its a totally different medium. I've got a Kobo Glo and and Kobo Touch and you tend to put up with their control quirks due to how good they actually are to read with.

          @mewdex:

          Havent used a reading app on Android for a while but Mantano Reader was the one I used to use, and also the Kindle and Kobo dedicated apps for Android. For PDFs of magazines etc I found that ezPDF Pro was good (allowed me to fix a zoom/crop level for the entire file even when turning pages, which was very helpful for some PDF files.)

        • otter-raptor on 22/05/2015 - 18:03

          @mewdex: I use Moon+ reader on my Android phone , and it is good with customisations and readability etc .. But the battery life takes a big hit (Due to screen being on obviosuly , the app itself is kinda low power consumption . )

    Got a regular Kindle for Christmas. Don't use it as often as I'd like, but I feel some of that is due to it not being backlit.
    Wonder if I should upgrade….

  • Mr Wowtrousers on 22/05/2015 - 09:38

    Brilliant. Was literally looking last weekend and decided not to buy as too spendy in Australia.

    I have an older kindle, but the paperwhite can do Japanese text, so handy if you are stuyding :D

  • Dominic on 22/05/2015 - 09:39

    Worth upgrading from the old Kindle Keyboard to this?

    • geebee on 22/05/2015 - 12:14
      +2

      Yes!, thats what I did previously, much easier on the eyes and you dont have to face the book to the light to read in the daytime plus you can read in the dark if you like.
      Oh, also smaller and easier to hold.
      Definately a worthwhile upgrade.

  • maogua on 22/05/2015 - 09:41

    How's this compare to the bigw $60 Kobo glo earlier on ozbargain?

    • jjsnacks on 22/05/2015 - 09:43

      I had the Kobo glo, it was good, but the backlight was terrible, useless at night as the minimum brightness was like looking into the sun. Also the paperwhite is considerably faster when opening books/turning pages etc.

      • litoria on 22/05/2015 - 11:11
        +1

        Just got Kobo Glo I like the backlight - there is fine grained control. On the lowest setting (1%) its fine for reading in a completely dark bedroom (without keeping partner awake!)

        • jjsnacks on 22/05/2015 - 11:25

          Really i found it intensely bright, i installed the hack to invert the colours "night mode" which helped

        • jpl on 22/05/2015 - 11:59

          @happyantix:

          No problem with the light in darkroom. Have you updated to the latest firmware?

        • jjsnacks on 22/05/2015 - 16:07

          @jpl:

          Yep but maybe I'm just sensitive to light, anyway I have the paperwhite now and the brightness is much more adjustable to a lower level

      • Gravy on 22/05/2015 - 16:56

        Bought a Kobo Glo (2 actually) a few weeks back in the Big W sale, latest firmware allows for much lower light setting and also allows you to slide your finger up and down the hard left hand edge of page to quickly adjust whilst reading.

        The lighting however is a little inconsistant, mine bleeds a little extra light at the top and on my wife's model you can see where the 3 or 4 LEDs at the bottom sort of shine upwards. Her's is white and mine is black, and seem to be very different production models as marking have changed on them. Mine has a slightly bluer light and hers is a little more grey.

        I compared the light to my motherinlaw's Kindle Paperwhite (4GB model I think) and hers does seem more consistant… although it was well over double the price we paid.

    • Mr Wowtrousers on 22/05/2015 - 11:10

      A quick search also showed some reviews showing the paperwhite beats the kobo for Japanese text rendering, dictionaries etc. if that is important to you. Also had a clearer/whiter screen

    I've got the original Paperwhite (not next Gen) and it's brilliant. Next gen is just that little bit better than that, so you won't be disappointed.

    Recently purchased the new Kindle Voyage for a family member who was upgrading from the Kindle Touch - now that's a beautiful machine. That said, unless you read a LOT, it's hard to justify the added spend over the Paperwhite.

    I grabbed an additional Paperwhite from this offer this morning (thanks OP) - it's a brilliant deal. Will add it into my wife's birthday stash - into the cupboard it goes for now…

    If you are looking for a cheaper option this ebay seller is selling a large number of Kobo Glo's in "as new" condition for $50 (or offer) + shipping (~$8).

    Is a cover mandatory for this device , I'll be placing it mostly in my backpack's tablet space and not sure if I need a cover.. It would add extra bulk while reading as well ….
    If I ever have to get a cover , is this a good option ( with local delivery and sleep/wake function et al .. )

    • Dacs on 22/05/2015 - 12:17

      Yes. The cover turns it on/off automatically when you open/close it. With out it the on/off switch is a bit fiddly. Also good protection from the screen getting scratched in your backpack, pocket etc (surprisingly, it fits into a lot of my pockets).
