The price in dollars is irrelevant. It is exactly the same price at Sam's Club for a Paperwhite 2 as the price for a Paperwhite 3 on Amazon.com.mx.

The "buyer beware" nonsense is classic blaming the victim. A device is marketed by Amazon as a Paperwhite. They only distinguish the models when they're selling one of the older ones. To the public, it's just a Paperwhite. I know the difference and some of the elite snobs know the difference and blame people who don't know the difference for being ignorant.

I apologize for using the word fraud in the title. It is no legal violation. It is unethical which isn't something that interests most people. Let the buyer beware and whatever you can get away with is fine.

I'm done. I will come back and mention whether or not Sam's Club reduces the price. I sincerely hope they do.
