E-paper has a persistent screen tech that is reflective like a paper with ink does, and the other has a more reflective coating on an IPS screen. They are very different. E-ink means it doesn't have to refresh the screen 30/60/120 times a second to maintain a stable image, it's refresh as needed and is truly reflective-only; that's a big difference with things like eye-strain.
We're about to have another kid so she's going to have a lot of down time for books but is it too heavy to one hand while she's got the baby in the other?
Right now she's using a normal kindle with a pop socket after our toddler spiked her old oasis and broke the screen. She loved her oasis and id love to get her something else
I love it. I use it on my train commute. The bigger screen is great to have and allows a lot more reading before page turns. I still use my oasis in bed as it's earlier to hold one handed and has physical page turn buttons.
- I added the Kindle w/ Kindle Unlimited to the cart
- I checked out and added the promo code. It stated it was successfully applied, but the price didn't reflect it.
- I cancelled the checkout and re-checked out. The price now reflected the 15% off.
- I cancelled the checkout again, removed the item, and added the Kindle w/o Kindle Unlimited because the trade-in button didn't show up unless I did
- Once I added it, I went back to the product page to click on the trade-in button. Went through all the prompts.
- When I went back to checkout, the 20% off trade-in promo wasn't applying once more (but the 15% one was still applied)
- I removed the Kindle and re-added it once more. Finally, it showed both the 20% and the 15% off discounts.
I probably could have saved me all the trouble and time above by doing the trade-in prompts first, added the product to the cart, added the promo code, and then if that didn't work, re-checkout.I got a bundle that started at 308 after initial discounts (premium leather + 16gb scribe + charger) and had a ton of issues in checkout getting my 20% trade in offer that the system previously registered.
After contacting them they said they'd give me the 20% even though I kind of already got the 20%, but I didn't really complain. Still, it took not one but 4 support calls to actually get the extra 70 USD refunded as I had to wait for the scribe to arrive before getting the refund / it was confusing all around.
Still, 140 USD after all was said and done. YMMV but there are enough holes in these scribe and colorsoft deals that between the trade in offer, the coupons and support wrangling, walking away with a deal of the year is on the table on this one.
Really like the concept but my paperwhite screen seems really tiny when you crank up the font size, feels like I am changing the page every 2 seconds (fast reader, bad vision)

And I am not seeing the trade-in option at all. Which combo you got?
