I don't think that will happen, but I'd be okay with being wrong, I guess. |

If anything I suspect they will release a new Paperwhite and bump up the specs on the basic, possibly with a light. |

Please don't take this as a complaint. I have a Voyage and a Paperwhite and personally I prefer the Paperwhite. I think it's worth every penny and if Amazon is making money on their sales that's fine with me. Barry |

I was told yesterday Walmart is only getting so many in for this $99 introductory price for the Aura 2nd edition. They got XX amount of cards in for the display with the $99 price. Then they got Twice that many with the $120 price. Also was told its Walmart that lowered the price & Only Walmart.
I asked if they were lowering the Clara price said he would not know till it got here. Next week hopefully |

Looking on the Walmart site, the Clara has a "Best Seller" indicator. So much for the Paperwhite having to compete with the Aura Ed 2.

EDIT: And, oddly enough, when I go to Amazon I'm now being offered a Paperwhite for $90 if I enter in the "secret" non-transferable code — hint, it rhymes with "BRINDLE" — but I'm guessing this is a selective offering that Amazon does from time to time. I think they're just trying to get me to shut up about possible $100 Paperwhites Last edited by rcentros; 09-07-2018 at 08:00 PM. |

On Startup it says walmart ebooks but other than that no adds thank god. I was hoiping Audibles would do down to 9.99 to match kobo walmart but not yet. I was going to go with kobo audible but when I found they do not sync with the ebook I changed my mind |

If the reader is asleep, how would he or she know what is shown as the book cover?

When I bought my Aura, the vendor was set to FNAC. When I set it to sleep, it would show the FNAC logo rather than the book cover. I'm wondering if the Walmart branded ones do the same? |
