Or are you saying that the Aura and Clara are so close in price that no one would consider purchasing the Aura and just purchase the Clara?

The Aura is "last year's model" no?
Leftovers superceded by this year's Clara intro.
It gets muddy if you count everything floating around. Last I looked there were still Kindle DXs, Sony T1s, and Nook STRs, allegedly new, floating around.
As to Kindle prices, those are the official ones.
But the Basic Kindle goes on sale to $50 like clockwork, 4-6 times a year.
(Valentine's, Mother's day, Prime Day, Back to School, Black Friday, after xmas, and pretty much every time Bezos sneezes.)
Even the new PW4 is expected to drop a bit in the next few weeks.

The regular base Kindle drops to $49.99, down from $79.99, for every major sale, so its unlikely that this Black Friday will be any different. A sale for the new Kindle Paperwhite is more difficult to predict. The previous model usually drops to $89.99 during Black Friday, but since the new model is $10 more expensive than the old one, I’ll guess that it’ll be $99.99 during Black Friday this year, down from $129.99. The flagship Kindle Oasis usually doesn’t go on sale during Black Friday, but if it does this year, it’ll probably be no less than $199.99, down from $249.99, because that’s the lowest price it has ever been.

I'm mildly interested in the PW4. But in no rush.
If it hits $99 I might bite. Or "wait til next year!"
(There's a lot of that going around right now, usually with some sobs!)
