It does not have speakers. You have to use bluetooth headphones or speakers.

If I can get mine jailbroken when I get it, this is the first thing I am going to try to do if it doesn't work out of the box. Amazon really should support this for accessibility reasons if for nothing else. |

But, as light color may vary in different units of the same model, and people have different perceptions of the same thing, I doubt my answer is representative. |

I'm asking about this because: 1. Amazon DE website says: "Sie erhalten Spezialangebote und gesponserte Bildschirmschoner direkt auf Ihren Kindle. Die Angebote werden auf dem Bildschirmschoner Ihres Kindle angezeigt, wenn dieser nicht benutzt wird - sie stören Sie nicht beim Lesen." (and the other European Amazons do not have such section). 2. The price in Amazon DE is 20 euro lower as compared to FR/IT. |

229,99 Euro is the one and only price for the 8 GB Wifi model in Germany. When you buy it, you can not pay more to get rid of special offers. The only thing is the shop on the homepage, which shows recommendations. This can be turned off in the settings. |

One explanation is that Amazon may be trying to keep the price down to compete with the Tolino Epos (in preorder right now at 229 euros), the company's first 7.8" ereader. Tolino is the n.1 ereader provider in Germany, competing with Kobo and Amazon. Tolino sells its ereaders in Italy as well, but it's no competition to Kobo and Amazon, and the Epos won't be released here anyway, so that might explain why the price is in line with France (who doesn't get Tolinos AFAIK). |

I see it's a little cheaper in Germany than the UK. €229.99 in Germany, and £229.99 in the UK, but £1 is worth about €1.13 at present. The UK has a slightly higher rate of VAT, which accounts for some of the difference.
