bethed Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Does Amazon drop the prices of the Kindles on Black Friday??Also anyone that already has a Kindle ... Which one would you suggest purchasing??
bribri25 Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Maybe not ON Black Friday, but certainly among their deals leading up to it. I think it was the week of last year that varying kindle devices were on sale. Usually they make advertisement of it in advance so you'll know slightly ahead of time. Usually when they see how much BB & Staples, etc. are selling them for on BF from the leaked ads, they will match that price pre-BF so you buy it from them instead of in store at the other retailers. 1
bpr Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Amazon will probably have them on sale for BF and another time before Christmas. They just had the Paperwhite, $119, for $89. I don't believe it has been cheaper than $89 before, so on BF it will probably be that again. Other Kindles go on sale too. Figure out which one you need ahead of time and start watching about a week prior to BF and watch through Christmas. 1
dakotadenise Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Every Kindle I've bought my kids I've gotten them on a sale Amazon had. They will have a day, or maybe a few hours where they drop the price nicely, you just have to watch for it. My son has the Kindle Fire HDX and loves it. 1
Tigger97498 Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Generally yes. Last year. It was on Black Friday but that may have been because the new ones had just been released and they wanted to promote them 1
Bopeep Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) As far as which Kindle we recommend - what are you looking to use it for? Do you want an eReader, or a full service tablet? ETA - I just saw your post on the other thread, it looks like you are looking for an eReader. The only Kindles I've had have been Fire tablets, so I can't really help you with the readers.

freesia39 Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 If you're looking for an eReader, I really do enjoy my paperwhite. Plus I also have the flexibility to read on my phone (great when I'm taking public transit or waiting somewhere) and it'll sync back with my kindle later. 1
Brad Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 FYI, Amazon will be having $20 off Kindle, Paperwhite and Voyage e-readers from 10/31 at 4pm PST until November 3rd at 4pm PST. 2
cllehto Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 Watch the Black Friday ads on this site. Last year they had the Kindles on sale in the gold box deals matching the ad prices other stores had. I got the new 7" one last year at another site on the Black Friday sale. It works well.
bpr Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Good info Brad. But if people are willing to risk it and wait, I have seen the PW for $89 several times this year. I'm pretty sure we will see it again.
racerfan Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) Should I get the paperwhite now or wait and hope it goes lower? https://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/all-deals/ref=gbps_ftr_s-3_1542_wht_21023130?pf_rd_p=2670311542&pf_rd_s=slot-3&pf_rd_t=701&pf_rd_i=gb_all&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=Y9DM4JNX10GTQDY3FRYS&gb_f_GB-SUPPLE=sortOrder:BY_SCORE,enforcedCategories:2102313011&nocache=1478139407872 Edited November 3, 2016 by racerfan

You can weigh the pros and cons to see if it's worth it to wait and save $10 or just grab it now. For me; I'd wait but don't do it because I would. I believe it will go cheaper (in September it was $89), but have no guarantee. Edited November 3, 2016 by bpr

bribri25 Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 I'd wait if it were me, too. There's lots more time that they're going to want to sell these devices in high volumes. 1
