Kindle Paperwhite $35.50
I was in my local Staples, went to look at the Kindles, and they have/had the Paperwhite on clearance for $35.50.
I called back, to make sure the price was correct, they said it was, so I purchased one (they said it was the last one in stock.) I assume it is the latest generation, as it says "Now with a 300PPI display" on the box. Their website doesn't say anything about a clearance, and neither does their Weekly Flyer. The sales associate didn't have much additional information; usually things on clearance mean a new model is coming out and that other stores would probably also have them on clearance (she offered to call around, I declined). It had an original price of $119.00. I took a picture of the display if anyone is interested. |

Actually, I just checked online. It said my local one had none. I was assuming that was right. Was that the wrong assumption?

Maybe Staples isn't going to be carrying the paperwhite anymore? |

John F. didn't give a part number, but Staples' website shows model B00OQVZDJM, Item: 1684954, which appears to be available in a few stores, based on 1-hour pickup, B01BFIBRIE, Item: 2424941, which looks to be a white Paperwhite, and B00JG8GOWU, Item: 1204044, which is out of stock online and not available in stores and was replaced by model B00OQVZDJM/Item: 1684954.
None of the stores near me appear to have any of the newer Paperwhites in stock, based on the 1-hour pickup. I don't know if that implies they're just sold out, Staples is not stocking any in stores anymore, or that it's the older Paperwhite in clearance. |

Nice post, but maybe put the store name and clearance YMMV in the thread title next time.
