I don't see any ambiguity there. The sale is on until May 10th; the price goes back up on May 11th.

Yes, you're right, that wording linked "expires" with May 11th, so it is unambiguous.

I'm so used to seeing "until [date]" sales language ultimately meaning either through that date or up until that date, that now when I see any "until date" sales language I just punt and assume ambiguity.

O that's ok I still like to get one for the $129 price BUT Cant afford them at $200-$300 .... just hope they have one in stock.

Here's to unambiguous sales language being incorrect, as it's now 10:45 pm on May 11th and the Amazon warehouse DX page still says

Quote:

"$128.89
& FREE Shipping. Details
+ $9.02 estimated tax

...

20% off. Discount taken at checkout."

Or maybe they didn't get enough takers so are keeping the sale going. Hoping it lasts for you Katie1.

I can confirm the Kindle DX is available and in stock as I got the email today that my order for one had shipped.
It is used, good condition but no warranty, and fulfilment is by Amazon and not a 3rd party.

It's May 12th and the Kindle DX 20% discount is gone. Sorry, Katie1.

Yet another case of sales writeups with "until date" language that can mean either "through [date]" or "up until [date]."

The 20% discount may be gone, but I'm still seeing it for sale for $128.99. Are you not seeing that??

All I said was that the 20% discount is gone. Not understanding your questioning, especially since I had to go to the website to see that the discount wording was removed.

I think it was the "Sorry, Katie1" that confused me, since she said that she hoped she could get one for $129. I was just making sure that she understood that the ~ $129 price was still valid.

Ah, got it. I was concerned I had given her hope of the 20% off continuing, thus the apology. Good that you questioned, in case Katie1 read it same way and gave up on the DX.

iluvgadgets · 05-12-2015, 08:59 PM

Is Amazon planning on updating this device? I'd love to have one just wondering if it's worth investing in considering it's so old now.

HarryT · 05-13-2015, 02:27 AM

No, there are no updates. I'm not sure what you mean when you say "an investment"; no reader is an investment. You won't make any money from it.

I may be disappointed but I never give up

Just wait til they have them again. I still have one sitting in my cart so they still have them.

Not having any luck finding a M-Edge case to order with it. If anyone see one let me know At Amazon that is. I don't do EBay.

I've been away a few months, still no news on the Pocketbook 13 incher for ACAD etc? Was supposed to be in Q1 2015 (initially in 2014).

I am seriously starting to consider the Sony if it is down to $799. Offtopic, why are the ebay sellers still charging $1,000 plus if it can be gotten directly from Sony story for $799 sigh.

Perhaps they are targetting people in countries where it can't be bought for $799 (or for any other price, for that matter)?
