Deceptive marketing wins the day.

Here's a current example:

Kindle Kids 2024
  • $130 -- Jan ~ late Aug (Amazon's regular price)
  • $85 -- late Jun (Prime Day) = $45 savings
  • $180 -- late Aug (Amazon raised prices on many tech devices)
  • $123 -- late Sep ~ present (Prime Big Deal Days) = $7 savings
Because Amazon raised its prices, the net savings is really only $7.
.
And the 2024 Paperwhite SE is $169.00 right now. ($143.99 with my upgrade offer.)
