The by far largest ereader seller on the planet can't find a way to sell a Kindle Paperwhite at the same exact cost as the Glowlight 3 and Clara HD, aside from displaying ads? Surely that can't be true.
If you are willing to call the surcharge a discount, shouldn't you also refer to the advertising as special offers?

I agree with you. They used to be able to say this, and have it sound credible, when they came out with the Fires as market tablets for cheap rates. Now that's not the case, especially with the e-inks.
