Wanting to buy a Kindle Paperwhite, which is currently offered around $170 - according to PriceHipster this the cheapest recent price, though it is not advertised as a sale.
Previous bargains and forum posts do not reveal any discounting pattern (compared to, say, UE Boom which is discounted every few weeks).
Do I buy now and cross one Xmas present off the list, or wait and hope that the pre-Christmas / Black Friday sales mark it down further.
Kindle paperwhites were discounted more frequently in 2015 - not so much this year unfortunately. I gave in and bought at officeworks with 5% team member discount. Agree with above commenter that maybe best to wait for an eBay sale and hope it's not excluded from the sale.
Thanks ceribik and kboomkinesis
Yeah I am after the new 300ppi model but never seems to get heavily discounted.
Black Friday sales coming up soon, can you order from Amazon?
Difficult to see it being worthwhile. Costs $10-20 more on Amazon even before shipping. The deal would need to be pretty amazing to recover all that.
Looking at the UK price record, it has been discounted by 27% twice before, in Nov and at Christmas last year.
Given that Black Friday/Cyber Monday is coming up, I might look to that for potential good prices - though where is another matter.
I found the user experience is not as good as old generation kindle. The responsive time of the touch screen is slow.
There aren't that many retailers offering it for us to get sales. It's a great product, for the sake of a small discount, I'd just get one rather than wait in vain.
Yep, thanks. Grabbed it as soon as the 10% sale was confirmed!
I saw it in Big W's catalogue today for $159.00
Well, there you go… down another $15 on the full price….
Oh well, can't be bothered returning and rebuying.
yeah the hassle of doing that isn't worth 15 bucks
It doesn't go on sale at any regular pattern. Best way to get a discounted price is to wait for one of those eBay sales and get it for $140-150 from Officeworks.
