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

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. |

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? Last edited by patrickt; 08-01-2015 at 08:26 PM. |

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. |

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.
