Any Australians order the Paperwhite 2 non 3g model?

Lynx-lynx · 10-03-2013, 02:26 AM

I've got some questions for any fellow Aus who may have pre-ordered the Paperwhite 2, non 3G model.

How much did it/will it cost you in AUD? (I know it's being advertised on the Amazon site as USD 139)

How much postage did Amazon want? Did they impose any other fees/taxes/charges?

Thanks in advance

PS: none of our ereader sellers have yet to put up any info about the paperwhite 2 non 3G as far as I can tell.

I'm thinking to order one for my niece, but I'm not so sure now if i would like to put it through, since the price is almost as much as Kobo Aura. The infor below is what I got when trying to place the order. (Apologise for my English, it is my fourth language so I'm not that fluent).

Items: AUD 154.52
Shipping & handling: AUD 13.32
Total before tax: AUD 167.84
Estimated tax to be collected: AUD 0.00
Order total: AUD 167.84

I pre-ordered. Total cost for Kindle PW2, cover and postage to Brisbane, Qld was $198.46.

Thanks mylinh and brewjono

Gee that's a big discrepancy between the 2 costs. I'm in Sydney for info.

Wonder what the local retailers will sell it at whenever they drag themselves to selling it.

I'm still deciding whether i 'need' it - but the major reason is that the sandstone coloured background colour is perfect for my eyes.

Discrepancy between the two prices because brewjono's includes a cover as well as a PW2?
