Why YSK: Online platforms, particularly some very prominent offenders, may artificially spike prices before creating “discounts”. Whether this is intentional or the result of third party sellers fighting amongst themselves, I cannot say. Either way, don’t blindly purchase something because of a deal (camelcamelcamel is great to see price history if you just care about Amazon). Besides, if your sole motivation to purchase something is based on a discount, you might be better off cutting consumption instead.

Yeah, new Kindle Paperwhite for ~60€ (trade in 20€ + trade-in 20% + Kid version on sale for 99€) was nice. Good upgrade for my 9-year-old Paperwhite with more DPI, a slightly bigger screen and a fresh battery ;) And of course, there was also the 15€ coupon for uploading one photo to Amazon Images
ETA: The Kids version is exactly like the normal version, just without ads for 15€ less ;)
edit2: removed weird unrelated quote that somehow made it in.
Snatched myself up a paper white Kindle thanks to your post. Thank you.
Enjoy, my new one arrived yesterday, and the big screen and higher DPI are amazing :D
I’m looking forward to it. Just having the light will be such a huge upgrade since I didn’t have it and was having to find a light source to read.
