Colorsoft on sale?

It looks to me that as of today the price in USA is now $229.99 instead of $279.99 Anyone else see this?

Yes, but it also says that it is exclusively for Prime members

Yes it does but I am a prime member (live 15 miles from nearest Walmart etc). Anyway, I pulled trigger on a Colorsoft yesterday and got it today. Worried like anyone about the yellow problem but mine does not have it. So I am very happy.

Having bought it yesterday I paid $279 (but applied Amazon reward money to it of $100). When I saw it today with it being down to $229 I hopped on a chat with CS and they are refunding me $50 and happy about that. So I got the Colorsoft for $129 and very happy with that.

Yes, that is a good deal. I finally decided to go ahead and give in to the urge for color. I am trading in my PW4 for the 20% off. I am keeping my Oasis just in case I can't give up the page turn buttons (not to mention download and transfer). I almost bought the Kobo Libra Colour but I just really love the flush screen and syncing of sideloaded content.

I bought the Paperwhite SE two weeks ago, $199 as the Colorsoft seemed too expensive. But now I’m tempted to pull the trigger. I guess Amazon would charge a 20% restocking fee if I returned the Paperwhite?

The website says free returns.

What's a Colorsoft? Seriously, Amazon Canada still does not offer the Colorsoft in Canada though a couple of third party cases can be purchased. Oddly when I look at Amazon US, the Colorsoft says "This item cannot be shipped to your selected delivery location. Please choose a different delivery location" while the Colorsoft bundle simply says "Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock"
