Not much if any. Remember that Kindle ereaders are manufactured mostly in China or Vietnam.

Looking at Amazon Canada and Kobo, the Kobo Libra Colour has a 7" Kaleido3 colour screen, 32GB of memory and is selling for $290 Cdn while the Amazon Colorsoft with the same 7" Kaleido3 colour screen and 16GB of memory is selling for $350 Cdn. The Amazon Colorsoft SE give you the 32GB of memory plus wireless charging but the price jumps to $400 Cdn. For entry versions, the Kobo Clara BW has a 6" B&W screen with 16GB of memory for $160 Cdn (current sale price, regular price is $180 Cdn). This included a variable colour backlight and IPX8 waterproofing. The Kindle Basic has the same 6" B&W screen and 16GB of memory but lacks the variable colour backlight and waterproofing for $190 Cdn.

Current exchange rate would have the Libra Colour for ~$210 US, the Colorsoft for ~$255 US, The Clara BW for ~$116 US (~$130 US after the sale) and the Kindle Basic for ~$138 US.

And before someone brings it up, there are no lockscreen ad supported versions in Canada.

Amazon.it has the Basic listed as (€154.99 -30%) €109.00, and the Colorsoft @ €199.99
(-33% €299.99; - 26% Lowest price in last 30 days: €269.99)

Someone in the Nook forum just asked if I would buy another Nook. I said probably. Now I know I would. My Colorsoft SE will probably be my last Kindle unless they bring back the page turn buttons.

Same for Paperwhites and Colorsoft - 40.00 increase overnight, with the Signature Paperwhite going up $50.00.

Only one that seems untouched I believe are the Scribes.

Colorsoft Signature Edition now $320.00 - yikes. In Canada someone said the Colorsoft there just raised $90
Can it be a move as for to push them 2026 Kindle Fire Tablet HD devices?
