Why buy a PW2 when for just $10 more you can buy a PW3?

I did read. You said nothing in the OP other than the PW2 was back for sale and the cost.

Basically, after seeing the PW3, I would go for the PW3 instead of the PW2. It comes down to the better screen on the PW3 vs the PW2.

I apologize if you think I am being rude. I was just pointing out that the price of the PW2 is expensive compared to the PW3 (IMHO).

A. Quit bickering.
B. I bought a PW2 just before the PW3 was announced. At day 29 I returned it and got a PW3. The difference in the hardware isn't really noticeable to me.
C. $109 for WiFi and $179 for WiFi and 3G. That's ridiculous.

D. I just went to the Amazon Kindle page and none show a 3G model. Interesting.
E. Even more interesting is none show a price with and without ads. Is a major marketing change here?

I have to agree with JSWolf. The PW3 is identical to the PW2--except it has a better screen. If you're in the market for a PaperWhite right now, it's worth the extra $10 to get the better resolution (IMO).

Note--I have a PW2 and am happy with it. But if I were buying a new one today, I'd definitely go with the PW3.

Not bickering just don't like rude people that don't read a full post before making rude remarks.
Your #E Is an interesting thought... Ads Only!

Katie, you need to chill out. It is in no way clear in your initial post that you were posting for those people who prefer a PW2. At all.

"1st grade"

  • "fro"
  • "Cant"
  • "But" at the beginning of a sentence
  • Random incorrect capitalization

Perhaps the pot should not call the kettle black.

Both 3G and no ads appear as options if you click on "Configure and Add to Cart" button.
