Yeah, the deal has no fees or interest, it's just splitting the price up over 5 months. The first month is a bit higher because they charge you tax up front.

I personally went for that because I couldn't afford the full price of a Paperwhite in one go and wanted to get Mom the better model. Even $20 off would have been too much at once for me right now. And I'm pretty sure that's what Amazon is aiming for with the deal, people who'd like a nicer Kindle or Kindle Fire but can't quite pay for it up front.

And now to help Dad find her a new tablet he can actually afford. Her 2012 Nexus 7 is starting to get too slow to be usable.
