The 16gb compares to the new Paperwhite, so you’re in theory paying $5 more for the refurb. Plus, you can get 3 free months of KU with a new Kindle and potentially 20% off, if you’ve got something to trade in. It really doesn’t make sense. I think even at regular prices $135 isn’t enough of a discount.

And what screams at me about Kindle refurbs is that you don’t get a new battery. They charge it for you. So what exactly does “refurbished” mean? A charge and a bit of a wipe? It’s nuts.

I think the BF price on the new Paperwhite is a heck of deal, especially with 20% off which knocks the price down to just over $100. And if KU is of value to you….
