Not as good as the previous deals in the past, but great price.
TobyDeals has the 8gb for the same price but HK stock, however the 32gb @ $179 is great value if you don't mind grey stock.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (10th Gen) $159.20 (Free C&C, $5.26 Postage) @ The Good Guys eBay

8GB is plenty for books.
It is plenty for books. All her books would be stored on Amazon's servers anyway.
This is probably the best bang-for-buck model. The Oasis has a nicer build and larger screen, but is waaaaay more expensive.
8g is meant to be fine for ebooks. Audio files supposedly take space, but just depends on how many of those she may download.

For 8GB you can fill up 4000+ ebooks (exclude scanned PDF)
Audio ? wasn't that they drop since Gen 3/4

Checked review saying "the Audible feature is only available in the US. It does not work with Audible.com.au."
If she likes reading then a kindle is a great gift.
- it is a great gift. the only problem i have with it is finding time to read. once you have one it is really difficult to go back to physical books especially reading in bed at night.
If only the Good Guys sold the new Oasis!
Got one for myself - now just need to find enough time to read.
Just open OZB from Kindle
This or Clara HD? I mainly intend to use it for exam preparation, PDF reading and other ebooks later. Users please suggest!
I would say Clara HD, smaller bezels and overall smaller device.
None of the small eraders are suitable for pdf reading btw. You'll need a much bigger screen for that.No ereader will be even halfway decent for exam prep. Too slow to flip between pages, awkward/limited markup abilities, no real way to summarise.
Get yourself a cheap ipad and a pencil (unless you can spring for a surface pro…)
It really depends on your source material. I also assume you're set on an e-ink device rather than a regular tablet.
I find a 6" Kindle screen too small for PDFs that are designed to be A4-sized, or even A5-sized as Kindles can't reflow PDFs.
The Kobos can run KOreader which does support reflow, but a larger screen is still better. Unfortunately you're going to have to pay quite a bit for a large e-ink device!
The minimum size I'd go for is probably the 8" Kobo Forma. The Kobos also have Pocket support so you can sync text from webpages easily for you to read offline, and OverDrive support so you can borrow books from local libraries directly from the device. Just check to see if your library has OverDrive/Libby support.
If you'd like to do annotation, the 7.8" Boox Nova Pro reviews really well. It comes with a stylus that lets you annotate PDFs or take handwritten notes.
For an even larger screen which would be perfect for A4-sized PDFs, there's the 10.3" Boox Note Pro for a painful $840, or its competitor the 10.3" Likebook Mimas which used to go for about AUD$480 a month or so ago, but for some reason isn't in stock locally at the moment. They both come with Wacom digitizers for annotation or note-taking.
You can even get a 13.3" Boox Max2 for $879 at the moment. That particular model doesn't have a lit screen though.
Thank you all for suggestions. Probably I will stick with my iPad and pencil.
I get “this code can’t be applied to your order” error. O
Had no idea they were up to 10th gen already. I thought they were on 5th gen at most.
I know nothing about Kindles and am looking for one for my girlfriend. 8GB doesn't seem like much storage - Is this a good model?
