Amazon is in the mood for putting Kindles on sale lately.
A couple days ago they put the Kindle Paperwhite and entry-level Kindle on sale after having a sale on Kindle bundles last week, and now they’ve lowered the price of the refurbished Kindle Paperwhite as well.
The refurbished Kindle Paperwhite 4 is now marked down to $79 with free shipping.
They’ve been selling the 8GB version for $119 refurbished. A few times it’s been down to $99, but this is the first time I’ve seen it as low as $79.
Granted you might be better off just spending $10 more on a brand new Paperwhite 4 with the current sale, and you have more choices that way, but Amazon’s certified refurbished Kindles come with the same warranty as new ones so going refurbished is always one way to save some extra cash.
The previous generation Kindle Paperwhite 3 is also selling for $79 if you favor the old design. Woot still has them for $59 as well, although with a lesser warranty.
Question: Being older, I could use having the slightly larger screen, although my Amazon refurb Paperwhite 3 is in perfect condition. DOES ANYONE THINK THAT THESE,refurb or new,WILL BE CHEAPER YET ON BLACK FRIDAY OR CYBER MONDAY?
Based on previous years I doubt it goes lower than $79 anytime soon. But you never know.
I, too am older. Don’t understand why you need a ‘slightly larger screen’….do you want a larger eReader because a smaller one can be lost? Or, do you want the words larger? If you want the words on the screen larger, you can easily adjust/change the font size. I like having the largest font, bolded, so that I can easily glance at the words and go forward. I find reading easier with fewer words on the screen, but that is my preference.
