All Kindles except the Oasis 2 seem to go on sale fairly regularly, so I think you'd have to be desperate (i.e., your Kindle just died) or nuts to pay list. Right now, the Voyage is $150 and that gets interesting, certainly interesting compared to the PW list price, less so compared to a sale price of $90 to $100. A further complicating factor is whether or not to liberate your Kindle from ads; not worth it for the cheaper models (IMO) where it's too big a percentage of the price, but you might choose not to be shilled on a premium device.

I'm not going to buy a Kindle, but if someone were going to give me one I'd like a Voyage at $150. I think they're sleek and lovely.
