Kindle Price Cut.
It looks like the Kindle Voyage, and the Kindle Paperwhite, both have permanent price cuts. The Kindle Voyage is showing up as having a regular price of $149.99 and the Paperwhite having a regular price of $89.99

It looks like it is $50 to remove the special offers from the Paperwhite, didn't it used to be less to remove the special offers?

EDIT: Something is going on. You currently can't buy one with 3G or without special offers. Is the new Paperwhite about to be announced? |

Gotta be a glitch. The main product page still says $119.99, but Customize makes it $89.99. Should be $20 more (same as if you remove them later). And according to a number of people you can get them removed for free if you call customer support.

It would be nice if Amazon actually made some Special Offers. I remember when SO's were introduced, being offered some nice deals. Like paying $10 and getting a $20 gift card. Now they are just ads.

It is really messed up right now. The price for the Paperwhite with Special Offers is back up to $119.99. However if you buy the white one, it is $30 cheaper than that, and buying it without ads is $109.99. Here is a screenshot.

Paperwhite (both colors) showing as $119 for me. Voyage is $149, but it's only available in the wifi version with special offers... wonder if a new one is on the horizon, or if it's being discontinued?

As for Voyages ... I may be wrong, but I think this will be the end of them. |

If you bought from Amazon, you can cancel or return it.

It is still messed up. Right now if you go to Amazon it is $119.99, but if you click on it, it says it is $89.99. Then if you customize it, to add it to your cart, it is back up to $119.99.

I think the next Paperwhite is likely to have Bluetooth audio and 8GB storage. Maybe a new CPU/GPU so Invert Black & White feature is available.
If they were to add TTS (or at least ability to download additional voices for VoiceView), & enable immersion reading, I’d probably be interested, but I am otherwise pretty happy with Voyage. |

Immersion is unlikely to happen on an e-ink Kindle.
