I agree, it's £99 in the UK which is £11 less than the new Paperwhite @ £109 but by the time you add in the lighted cover its a lot dearer, if the lighted cover is the rumoured €50 which is £42 approx, so £141.
I know you need a cover for the Paperwhite and the official cover is £31, so together they are £140 but a lot of people get a cheap cover and don't pay £31 for the official one.
Plus new readers unsure of what's what will compare the unlit T3 against the K4, Amazons only unlit reader which retails for £69, so add in the £31 cover for that and that comes in at £100, not the T3s £141.
It's very sad but I think the designers at Sony are fools to bring out a device without a front light.
