Hi just wondering is this new version out? Can’t seem to find it
Plus additional 7% cashback thru ShopBack or Cashrewards!
I would avoid older models as the newer model is almost the same price but have better specs on the actual function which is book reading (bigger screen etc)
Are you saying that the new model will be priced at $229?
Maybe for the lower storage ones
New Paperwhites won’t have cellular, the 8GB will be US$140, and the 32GB with wireless charging and auto-dim will be US$190.
I sometimes wonder why you need a cellular e-reader the fact you need an extra Sim (extra phone bill cost) and always have your phone nearby to do a data tethering.
Plus, you are rarely download book on the go anyway, unless you are a fast reader that needs to download books on the go every single day…
@BigLeviathan: Free 4G connectivity doesn't require a sim card or a data plan. It a FREE built in 4G. You can use a browser and send emails via Google email website.
@[Deactivated]: Wait? A free 4G without a Sim card? Are you sure? Will it work in Aus only? What happen if you bring the device to remote area, will it get an internet connection?
@BigLeviathan: You've obviously never used a Kindle.
The data access to the mobile network is free. There is no SIM or mobile data plan to subscribe to; it uses Amazon's Whispernet technology.
That's why I had said "almost". There is one important consideration. These e-readers from Kindle and Kobo are darn slow so better to check reviews how the new model is. The slowness is very visible if you highlight frequently.
I was replying to Matt88
i have been reading books on ipad. is kindle better for reading? why ppl use this ?
Less glare and eye strain
Longer battery life
Less distractions
So it depends on how much you value all of the above and whether you're willing to pay for a dedicated device
I got a 300ppi Paperwhite for $143 6 years ago. Have they improved much at all? It just looks like they have more storage. Mine only has 4GB which is more than enough imho
4G seems like a complete waste of time as well. I've never been in a situation where I'm desperate to download a book with no phone on me and outside of wifi coverage :)
This isn't the new model, there's a new one just around the corner with usb-c, bigger battery and screen, so they're just clearing this model out
