    Good price. I love my Paperwhite. It is honestly, my valuable piece of technology I own and it's probably the least high tech bit too.

      Yeah a lot of people recommended one in this thread, so I've been looking for a discounted one :)

        • Shaggs on 10/10/2018 - 19:27

          I have one and haven't swept the floor or vacuumed since I got it. So in my world, it's a need.

    • AustriaBargain on 09/10/2018 - 17:26

      Is the extra 88dpi worth upgrading from gen2?

      • ethan961 on 09/10/2018 - 21:56

        I haven't owned one older than gen 3, but watching comparison videos I kind of doubt it unless you're reading complex PDFs often. I think at this stage it'd be more worth waiting for the next generation if you've already got one. If the next gen has adjustable backlight temperature then that'd make a much bigger difference than just a resolution increase. I know there's only speculation at this point, and as such I wouldn't suggest anyone who doesn't already have an e-reader wait for any possible next generation, but I think it's a possibility worth considering in the case of people seeking an upgrade from a perfectly serviceable e-reader.

    • AussieDaddy on 10/10/2018 - 20:56

      I own two Kindle eBook readers, an older model with buttons to turn pages (bought back in 2011), and a slightly old gen Paperwhite (bought from a 2015 Dick-Smith deal posted here). I just wish ePub files were readable on them. I know I can use Calibre to convert them into Mobi format, but there are always formatting issues with such converted eBooks. That's my only gripe with Kindle eBook readers. Otherwise, they're absolutely fantastic. Does anyone know if there's an eBook reader that accepts both ePub and Mobi books without converting them?

    It says all-new but this is still the 2015 version right?

    • EnALup on 09/10/2018 - 14:34

      yea, wanted to know as well. I bought paperwhite 1.5 years ago and wondering if this one is an updated version.

      • CodeXD on 09/10/2018 - 14:44

        Yep, this is the 2015 version, Kindle Paperwhite 3

      • freakitude on 09/10/2018 - 14:57

        Kindle paperwhite hardware hasn't been updated since 2015. That's why i am looking for good deals on kindle oasis from ages but unfortunately good guys don't sell them and officeworks is always excluded from these deals. The best place to buy kindle oasisis probably Amazon + CR 10% cashback deal.

          Just asking out of interest - what more do you need? They're already light, store a boatload of books, look almost exactly likely paper, turn pages quick, last for ages without charging and work brilliantly in direct sunlight. If you want more features than that I'd be thinking about a proper tablet

          • deadpoet on 09/10/2018 - 15:33

            @Pulseidon: This. It does one thing very well, and if it were to get more features it would simply increase the price to the point where it just wouldn't make sense compared to iPads and tablets.

          • EnALup on 09/10/2018 - 15:35

            @Pulseidon: Main difference I can see is size : 6" and 7"),
            memory ( 4 GB-8 GB onwards),
            Weight: 205 , 194 gms

            Not sure if it is worth additional price though. Oasis is double the price.

            Edit: Forgot to mention that Oasis is waterproof, which makes it a good option for people reading in pools.

            • Pulseidon on 09/10/2018 - 15:43

              @EnALup: Yeah agreed - 6" is definitely big enough, I don't understand who needs to store thousands of books on their device at once (just have the few you want for the next few weeks/months and store the rest on your computer or Amazon account) and I don't know if I could even notice that weight difference. To be honest having one side of the device be way bigger than the other on the Oasis would annoy me way more than any shortcomings of the Paperwhite

        • jimbargain on 09/10/2018 - 17:33

          looks like there might be a paperwhite 4 coming out with possible colour temperature & audible integration

        No but its great to read on, no page flickers, no link bleeding, still like my Kindle especially outdoors. I can get iBooks cheaper though with 20% iTunes vouchers.

    I love my Kindle, it just sucks that half the books are more expensive than paperback.

    • mrhatken on 09/10/2018 - 15:14

      But they last forever, never collect dust, are available on multiple devices (at the same time), enable you to search content, save annotations and notes… I still agree paperback should be more expensive but only to stop people buying them. As far as value for money goes, the ebooks far out weight paper books (IMHO).

      • dano on 09/10/2018 - 15:27
        +6

        They don't last forever, though. Let me remind you that, contrary to physical books, you don't actually own any eBook you purchase. Despite all this, I still far prefer reading on my Kindle. The positives far outweigh the negatives. And there are methods of stripping Amazon's DRM if you wish.

          They don't last forever, though.

          There are plenty of websites that have free e-Books (both legit and not legit) that you can keep DRM-free forever.

        Yes, I'd say most people do. And it's a good thing they do, otherwise our favourite authors wouldn't have any money to continue writing books.

    I want to buy a Kindle but have never been able to pull the trigger. Is it just me or are they quite overpriced for what they are (all considering it's the same version from 2015)

    • Kozhutki on 09/10/2018 - 16:34

      Supply & demand I would assume. The name Kindle is synonymous with ebooks/readers so they charge a premium for it. Kobo is arguably better in every way though :-)

    • spedohero on 09/10/2018 - 21:12

      The older version, not the paper white version, has the function text to speech. Unfortunately, it has discontinued.

      • Bob Wang on 15/10/2018 - 09:48

        Thank you.

  • Benjkmv on 09/10/2018 - 17:23

    can we download books from other providers such as Kobo?

    • BeerCrisp on 09/10/2018 - 17:24

      Think as long as you download/convert to mobi format you can load it into a kindle

    • drmarshall on 09/10/2018 - 18:26
      +1

      There is a program called Calibre that can convert books into mobi format

    • sav11 on 09/10/2018 - 23:59

      Also you can just change the file extension to .png then load it to a Kindle if you can't be bothered converting it properly with Calibre etc. (may lose some formatting this way tho).

    • Benjkmv on 10/10/2018 - 01:26

      thanks, this was helpful,

  • PixelPaul on 09/10/2018 - 18:47

        • AussieDaddy on 13/10/2018 - 03:58

          Steps to jailbreak it (or a link that has such info, if you know one)? TIA.

            @AussieDaddy: I need to stress that if you don't know what you are doing, there's a chance to brick the device. Even if you know what you are doing, there is also a chance to brick it and your warrant will not cover this.

            This is the guide I followed in conjunction with this one(It has pictures).

            Even tho it says only to be used with firmware 5.8.7 or lower, I managed to follow the exact steps for mine with 5.8.11. Others also have had success with it. From the readings I've done, the most important thing is to make sure your kindle does not auto update itself (this means putting it into airplane mode as soon as you can).

            Honestly, read the whole guide thoroughly before starting it because there is a chance to brick the device.
