I might do that. Getting closer and closer to pushing the "order" button on the Voyage.

I have no idea if that's a good price but tbh so many people are selling devices right now. I sold my PW1 with an Amazon case and 18 months left on a transferable Warrenty yesterday for £80 and I count myself very lucky.

I know you have been very critical of Kindle PW. Also, are you planning to sell your iPad Mini? Or you will keep it as well? |

Agreed

Demand must be enormous, at least in my State. One can order and then cancel or receive delivery and then return it within 30 days. |

Best Buy has the Voyage for pre-order with a free shipping estimated arrival time of October 24-28. I've never pre-ordered from them, so I'm not sure if they actually will deliver within that timeframe. It might be worth a try for those who have late November estimates from Amazon. There's no mention of Special Offers for the $199 model, so it would also be cheaper than buying out of SO.

Best Buy for Kindle Voyage
Quote:
I just went to the Best Buy site and, when I clicked on delivery date, it returned me to the main screen without any delivery date. Here are the two models I saw displayed: Model: B00IOYAM4I SKU: 9301112 •Touch screen •4GB storage capacity •WAN •PagePress •Adaptive front light $269.99 • Save $100 on Select Devices: See How • Free Shipping on Orders $35 and Up • 5% Back in Rewards: See How Model: B00IOY8XWQ SKU: 9302088 •Touch screen •4GB storage capacity •Wi-Fi •PagePress •Adaptive front light $199.99 • Save $100 on Select Devices: See How • Free Shipping on Orders $35 and Up • 5% Back in Rewards: See How There was no mention of Special Offer status on either. Thus, I assume the more expensive has NO Special Offers and the cheapest has Special Offers. Evidently, those models are totally DIFFERIENT units with different constructions since they have different model numbers. |

In order to see the delivery dates you have to put it in your cart. I put the model number Best Buy gives for the $199.99 model in at Amazon and it took me to the Voyage page that shows all 4 configurations. The reason I question whether the Best Buy version of the Voyage comes without the Special Offers is because you can buy the PW2 w/o SO at Best Buy for $119.99. If that's true, then it makes for a better deal than buying out of SO later on.
Also, I think the higher priced one is the 3G model (it says WAN instead of Wi-fi). |

Thanks for the information
Quote:
However, I just purchased a $ 1,448.00 Washer and Dryer from Best Buy last week which was delivered then. I went to their site and entered my purchase PIN number and total. They said I would see my Points in 3 to 4 days. That means I can buy the Voyager with a DISCOUNT of $ 144.80 from Best Buy next week. When that happens, I'll keep my order from Amazon for the leather case and switch my Amazon Voyager Order to Best Buy. I'll still buy the one for $ 219 without Special Offers and still may have to wait, maybe until December. However, saving that huge discount is worth waiting even one more month. I never would have realized this without your post. Thanks, again. This site is invaluable for obtaining information like this from thousands of posters.

You are most welcome. I've learned a lot of useful information from lurking in these forums. I've also purchased way too many gadgets after hanging around here. |

Discount is 5%
Quote:
You got an early shipping date. That also indicates you have Special Offers included. Those buying without Special Offers are seeing late November or mid-December shipping dates now. The Paperwhites for 2012 and 2013 had the same setup. Most purchased the ones with Special Offers and got early shipping dates. I purchased both without Special Offers and got later shipping dates. However, they were DIFFERENT models. The early shipments had loads of bugs as reported here from color pixels to cracked screens. Many were returned for refunds as the purchasers had given up after repeated defective replacements. The later shipments had few, if any, defects. I've had PW's and Fires, all late shipments, and have never seen any defects. Evidently, Amazon learns from early returns and the later versions have had assembly line and QA corrections. My Voyager model without SO from Amazon has a Nov 28, 2014, delivery date. I'm pretty sure the Best Buy model without SO will be a December delivery date. If anyone really wants the SO model, it would probably pay to order in December to avoid all the initial defects. Last edited by sirmaru; 09-21-2014 at 02:39 PM. |
