Greetings everyone, I noticed in the Black Friday Catalogue that TGG are going to drop the Kindle Paperwhite to $149 on Thursday. This can be combined with the current $20 off $150 via the eBay app offer to bring this down to the cheapest price ever.

Need to add $1 or more worth of items to be able to trigger the $20 discount.

Make sure the $1 item is an eligible item as part of the $20 off $150 offer, probably best to choose an item from TGG as there seems to be some errors selecting C&C with items from other sellers.

Ensure that you're spending $150 BEFORE shipping costs also.

Features & details

  • The thinnest, lightest Kindle Paperwhite yet—with a flush-front design and 300 ppi glare-free display that reads like real paper even in bright sunlight.
  • Now waterproof, so you’re free to read and relax at the beach, by the pool, or in the bath.
  • Enjoy twice the storage with 8 GB.
  • A single battery charge lasts weeks, not hours.
  • The built-in adjustable light lets you read indoors and outdoors, day and night.
  • Get instant access to over 5 million titles, including new releases and best sellers.
  • This device does not support playback of Audible audiobooks.

As always, enjoy :)

    I'm looking for an ereader but don't want to really buy any books. Would I be able to access library ebooks with this?

    Not sure if I should get this or a kobo (i heard is better for access to Australian libraries)

    • [Deactivated] on 27/11/2019 - 10:33

      No, Kindle can't.

    • cyrax83 on 27/11/2019 - 10:34

      Yes you can load them on if you connect the kindle to a PC (downloadable ebooks)

      • eug on 27/11/2019 - 10:37

        That only works within the US, there is no Libby/Overdrive Kindle support outside of the US.

        A Kobo will let you natively browse and download books directly from Australian libraries through its Libby integration.

        You can also download the Libby app onto your phone or tablet.

            @Tacooo: Yes you can - mine works perfectly with Calibre.

              That's not what the OP was asking. OP wants to borrow ebooks from a library, not buy an ebook from a publisher.

          Calibre works fine to load Ebooks onto the Kindle. Thats how I load mine onto my Paperwhite.

          • eug on 27/11/2019 - 12:21
            +7

            @FuRyZ: People don't seem to be reading the OP's post.

            OP wants to borrow books from local libraries, and not simply copy books onto a Kindle with Calibre.

            Many local libraries use the Overdrive service. With a supported Kobo you can directly access your local library's ebook catalog and borrow books from the Kobo itself.

            There might be a way to use Calibre to strip the DRM and load it onto a Kindle, but the OP wasn't asking about what's effectively pirating library books.

        • maxtylerytb on 27/11/2019 - 13:14

          Yeah best to download the ebook, load it into Calibre and remove DRM then load them onto the kindle

    • xecutor on 27/11/2019 - 10:45

      Amazon in Australia do not have any agreements with local Australian libraries to support the download of Kindle compatible e-books to devices. This seems to be only available in the USA.

      However, you can always upload different ebooks formats (non-Kindle/AZW) onto the Kindle to read using software like Calibre

      Or use Amazon's own software to do this Send to Kindle

    • dkam on 27/11/2019 - 12:11

      The Kobo Clara HD I got from JB HiFi lets you log into OverDrive and downloads library ebooks ( provided your library uses OverDrive ). If you try the free Libby app first ( on iOS and maybe Android ) you'll be able to find out if your library works with OverDrive. When I borrow a book with Libby ( or via OverDrive ), it syncs onto my Kobo, via wifi.

      You can also just plug it into your PC and it mounts like a drive - chuck your epubs or PDFs directly onto it.

    • sween64 on 27/11/2019 - 12:13

      Kobo is way better for access to library catalogues. The Clara mentioned above has OverDrive access built in which makes it even easier, my 70 yo mum can use it! Kobos also can read ePub, a very common ebook format.

    Is there much of an advantage using one of these to read books compared to reading on your phone?
    From what I have read;
    * No blue light so better for getting to sleep
    * Lighter so easier to hold than a phone
    Anything else?
    I've wanted to get one but always talked myself out of it as I can read on my phone.

    • Gravy on 27/11/2019 - 10:51

      Fully visible in full sunlight, screen does not fade out like a phone or tablet in bright sun. Less screen reflection usually too. Battery life considerably longer than a phone or tablet.

      Also compared to a phone, the screen size is closer to that of a small book.

      • Joz2988 on 27/11/2019 - 11:08

        Thanks for the reply. I don't really read outside and battery life doesn't make much of a difference to me.
        Might save my pennies and keep reading on my phone :)

              @Joz2988: I'm sure other people have differing experiences, but for me the difference is massive. Reading from a Kindle (or equivalent e-ink reader) is as easy on the eye as reading a paper book. Reading from a backlit screen (whatever settings you use) just cannot compete. I'd get a huge headache trying to read books on a phone or tablet, never happens with Kindle.

              • montorola on 27/11/2019 - 14:18

                @Birdseye: So (dumb question), I'm assuming these Kindles have a backlight yeah? Just so I can read in the dark in bed?

              @Joz2988: yes, reading e-ink is way way way nicer on your eyes than any mobile screen. just walk into a store and read a page on your phone versus reading on a kindle. it's a much better experience. of course, if you don't feel a difference, then don't bother!

              • Birdseye on 27/11/2019 - 14:31

                    @Joz2988: I am n9t anti e-reader, but if ypu have an OLED screen like someonr said above its really splitting hairs IMO except for the in bright sunlight reading. If you aren't reading in bright sunlight, you could save your money and put white writing on black background and it's just as good or even better IMO. People buy them for other reasons too though e.g. not running battery down on their phone, not getting distracted by phone messages when reading, because the look of the page is nostalgic (which is probably a broad way to say that people are just used to paper and so prefer e-ink)

    • azngamer on 27/11/2019 - 11:14

      Just to add to what Gravy said, it's not noticeably lighter than a phone but definitely compared to a tablet. Battery life is insanely good compared to phones. I have stored my kindle away for 3 months or so with little discharge. Sorry that I can't give you the exact figures, but that's a massive positive for me since I can pick it up and not worry about the battery. If I am going away on a holiday, just a single charge before the trip and not worry about charging it throughout.

      Also less distraction I guess. I won't be checking facebook or getting notifications and so on while reading.

      Comes with a dictionary that doesn't require internet access which is pretty cool (your phone app might have that already).

      • capslock janitor on 27/11/2019 - 19:10

          Capacity as in battery? No idea, did a quick search and found nothing. Might find more information if I spend a bit more time but I'm at work now. As for battery, I won't compare it to other smart devices as the text are not LEDs but a technology that they call E-ink. They use significantly lower amount of battery to operate and to change display.

          I am not sure what you mean by type of screen, but it is matte. Helps with glare and makes reading a kindle like reading a book. I hope that helps.

      Yes easiest way is use 'send to kindle' feature as mentioned in post above. If u put 'convert' in the subject line it converts it to kindle format to get around the text spacing issues mentioned below. Only problem is graphs, tables etc. come out small and hard to see.

      can this read pdfs or txt files that are download from the web?

      Yes, you can email PDFs to your unique kindle email or just copy them over USB.

      PDFs that are A4-sized would be quite a pain to read on the small screen though.

    • dregs on 27/11/2019 - 14:53

      You can read PDFs, but if you're reading text/reference books, or anything with a fixed design layout, you'll find it painful reading PDFs. You can zoom in so the text is readable, but you may need to pan left/right each line. You can also read in landscape orientation which helps. It's not great, but doable. Not sure what a better solution is though, other than reading on laptop or surface maybe. I have a lot of language learning, travel, and recipe books which are pdf, where an adaptive layout would not work, so not much point converting those.

    Top deal, and IMHO the Kindle is the best e-reader out there. I've owned all of them from the first gen Kindle, and almost all the KOBO incarnations, and this current Paperwhite is my favourite by far. As far as book content goes, there is an almost unlimited amount of freebies out there, from the daily ones that are posted here on OB (and other sites eg eReader IQ), to the various methods of uploading as mentioned in previous replies above.

    Great price. All time lowest for the Paperwhite?

    MicroUSB … No thanks. It's not the 1970s anymore.

      lol took you a while, i am starting to see your view after my iPad 11" pro and new Bose 700 both have USB-C, but this little kindle goes weeks even if used a lot between charges, so for the price worth it.

        lol .. sorry but I happy to move with the times and abandon 3.5mm jacks and abandon MicroUSB.

        Everything with MicroUSB has been sold or in the bin and I am not going back to mess around with separate cables and extra adapters.

        There are plenty of USB-C e-readers available.

              @matt-ozb: Probably also worth noting that those run Android so you can install other apps too, like the Kobo app, Libby, Kindle, etc. The ones with stylus will also let you annotate PDFs, and the 10.3" models are much better for reading A4-sized PDFs than a Kindle.

    Waiting for a Kobo Clara HD deal. I have an old Paperwhite that's still doing well so my next ereader has to be a different system. I have several epub books that I converted in Calibre and the format still came out weird.

    • DeluxeBull on 27/11/2019 - 15:21

      Same. I want to be able to borrow books from my local library through OverDrive.

    • klonky on 28/11/2019 - 13:37

      Just saw the Kobo is on sale on Myer eBay for $159

      • AussieDaddy on 28/11/2019 - 14:41

        About 4 or so months ago Myer had them for little bit over $130 in a deal posted here. So did HN. Gonna wait for similar deals.

          Harvey Norman just dropped the price to $138+delivery.

          • AussieDaddy on 28/11/2019 - 22:01

            @klonky: Thanks. I wish Myer eBay lowered their price as well as I have eBay GC I want to get rid off. Also with eBay Plus I will save the delivery cost from Myer eBay whereas I have to pay $7.5 for delivery if I buy it from HN.

            • klonky on 29/11/2019 - 11:18

              @AussieDaddy: I was just able to get Jbhifi to price match $138.
