My apologies if this has already been posted, no time to back read a zillion posts!
I was on Amazon.com today looking for Kindle Oasis 3 deals and the best one was $174.99 for the 8GB model. That is $75 off list. But be careful. As usual, Amazon actually lists multiple deals and some or much higher, some won't be delivered for a week or more, etc. So be sure to browse through all the current deals for an item to make sure you get the best one. Also, be careful on the Oasis as they have a similar price on the Oasis 2 which has been replaced by the Oasis 3. Amazon has definitely clearly marked them as the older model, but just be careful none the less.
Since they had 5 monthly payment deal offer, I went ahead and got an Oasis 3 8GB plus black cover. Merry Christmas to me! Hopefully it works out and is much better than the older blue tinted Paperwhites I tried out a few years ago.
