Please note that Richwood said nothing about popularity, just features and prices.
BTW, using the pricing from Amazon.ca and Kobo's Canadian site:
Code:
6" devices
Paperwhite $139.99
Clara HD $139.99
7" devices
Oasis 8GB $329.99
Libra H2O $199.99
8" devices
Forma 8GB $299.99
So price wise, a tie on the 6" end, a definite advantage on the 7" devices and no contest for the 8" device. |
Interesting. In the US, the Oasis is only $269 without offers. It's $249 with offers. The only way to get close to the $329 price is to get the 32 GB version with free cellular connectivity and no offers for $349.
While this is still more expensive than the Libra, it's not as much of a disparity.
