The Kindle Basic is also not available now on Amazon so I am guessing it will be releaseing very soon. I could see the price being $69 or maybe even $59. I would love to know more details. Probably will be 212 PPI. If it is lighter and thinner than the current PW with some kind of physical page turn button, I may have to pick this up. Last edited by stutzj; 09-17-2014 at 02:01 PM. |

Not sure the ppi increase justifies the price increase.
Would I be better off getting the pw2 now instead of waiting for Nov? Or will PW2 be discounted or dropped then? |

I'd like to see how these page turn "sensors" work. I really miss the physical page turn buttons.

Wish they'd build in OverDrive so you could checkout library books directly from the device.

the Kindle Basic from the german page is described as having "ohne Spiegeleffekte" which, thanks to google translate, is "without mirror effect". Improved screen with no reflection at all? Just find it interesting that "no mirror effect" is listed in title.
...alright, now I'm being a bit obsessive...I need to go outside. |

Yeah that "ohne Spiegeleffekte" line is plastered all over the current Amazon German Paperwhite page as well. So, basically the same (aside from the higher ppi).
