Amazon are having a sale on two of their Kindle e-readers.

Kindle 6" e-reader (the cheapest model) - $99 ($10 off)
  • Touchscreen display that reads like real paper
  • Unlike tablets, no screen glare, even in bright sunlight
  • Battery lasts weeks, not hours
  • Lighter than a paperback, holds thousands of books
Kindle Paperwhite - $159 ($20 off)
  • High-resolution 300 ppi display - reads like real paper.
  • Bookerly, our exclusive font, designed to read easily and comfortably at all sizes.
  • Built-in adjustable light - read day and night.
  • Unlike tablets, no screen glare, even in bright sunlight.
  • A single battery charge lasts weeks, not hours.
  • Lighter than a paperback, holds thousands of books

The main difference between the two is the Paperwhite has a higher PPI and has a built in light. It apparently doesn't shine the light directly into your eyes like a backlit device (e.g. tablet) but it sounds like it is still a blue/white light and it can't be turned off (only dimmed). People do report less eye-strain (compared to a backlit device) when reading at night though.

    Prefer Kobo eReader because Pocket means you can sync web pages for reading later.

      Instapaper has similar functionality. They collate your saved pages and send them directly to your kindle

  • DU99 on 03/05/2018 - 21:19

    wonder if officeworks would price match

      Use AMAZON20 tonight with a new account and you can get it for $139

      • superhands on 08/05/2018 - 23:27

        AMAZON20 not working anymore - 8th May - "The promotional code you entered has expired." :-(

  • paul11 on 03/05/2018 - 21:29

    Great, just got it for ~$132 …. using AMAZON20 code and 5% cashback

      Probable you won't receive the cash back as per Cashrewards, "Cashback may not be payable if you use a coupon code that is not listed on this site."

  • carlenet on 03/05/2018 - 21:30

    Cheaper to buy a black Paperwhite from Catch for $154 plus shipping of $9.95 (Or free with Club Catch) https://www.catch.com.au/product/kindle-paperwhite-high-reso… and 12% back through Cashrewards. Hence a final price of $135.52 with Club Catch or $145.47 with shipping.

    Same prices @ jbhifi.

  • theguyrules on 03/05/2018 - 22:10

    Ugh I bought one on Monday from Amazon for $179. Do amazon au refund the difference?

      Chat with them

      Doing a quick Google check, Amazon US stopped this practice in 2016 on all products except TVs. You could try to ask via chat. Has it shipped yet? If not, just cancel it.

        I just asked, and they're refunding $20 despite it not being their policy.
        Legends!

    No discount for me with AMAZON20

    The promotional code you entered cannot be applied to your purchase.

    am I doing something wrong

    • Ryanek on 04/05/2018 - 08:40

      Only works if its your the first purchase for your account.

  • Deliver My Food on 04/05/2018 - 10:42

    Sucks to be me..

    For comparison, just bought the PaperWhite two days ago from officeworks ebay with the PULL5 discount code for $165.30. The AMAZON20 seems the best method (if you don't have an acccount/are willing to make a new account)

  • Popo on 04/05/2018 - 14:12

    That was the price 6 months ago when I bought mine from Myers (also had free delivery when > $100 so had to buy cheap tongs with it).

  • drojf on 08/05/2018 - 21:27

    Officeworks Ebay dropped their price to match, but you can still use the PULL5 voucher ($151.05 with PULL5, free postage), unless I'm missing something.

    For some reason you can still use PULL5 or any other voucher you might have, which brings it down to $151 instead of $159.

    • mrtin on 10/05/2018 - 00:04

      Just did this less cashrewards cashback as well hopefully

  • lhou021 on 11/05/2018 - 14:33

    Can confirm the AMAZON20 code works for new accounts.
    Getting a KPW @ $139.

    • mrdang on 11/05/2018 - 21:10

      Works on first orders with old accounts too. Just purchased one!
