I'm trying to figure why anyone would buy a Kindle Paperwhite for $120. They're consistently on sale for $100, sometimes for $90. And refurbished Kindle Paperwhites are $20 less (sometimes more than that) than the Paperwhite's new price. Right now you can buy a refurbished Paperwhite for $80. If you add $20 for removing ads and you're still paying $100.
