Once again the Paperwhite is the only Kindle on sale. Oddly Amazon has stopped putting the entry-level Kindle on sale lately. For only $20 more the Paperwhite is a much better value; it’s not even close. The entry-level Kindle makes no sense at $79 anymore if they’re going to keep putting the Paperwhite on sale.
They should drop the price of the basic Kindle to about $29, that seems about right. Or discontinue it all together.
I just bought the 32 GB Paperwhite with cellular.I visit my family each summer and no Wi-Fi at the home I will be staying. Can connect with my phone but need that is for my computer. I got the trade-in and discount, price came to $157.49 with 5 monthly payments. Truth be told I like my Nooks and Fires better, but the Cellular will come in handy this summer.
