To the best of my knowledge, Amazon has the best sales. When I bought my Oasis (latest model) there was a steep discount on the device and I traded in an old device for another 25% off, plus I had a $15 coupon for joining Audible. In the end with all discounts applied I paid about $120 for my Oasis.
So if you live in the US, especially if you have and old device to trade in, watch for sales and you can get a killer deal.
But sometimes it's inconvenient to have to wait for a sale. Also, if you order from Canada to the US, the price is lower due tot he exchange rate. I had a look earlier and the Forma at $199.99 CDN is about $149 US. So yes it will be a little bit higher with the exchange rate fee on your card, but it's still going to cost less.
