Amazon.ca has launched a Prime Member exclusive sale on their Kindle Paperwhite, the company’s popular front-lit ebook reader, shaving $30 off the regular price to make it available for $109.99, matching the second lowest price ever for the reading device, according to price tracker CamelCamelCamel. (update: Prime Day actually had this at $99.99, the actual lowest price ever and not picked up by CCC; still a great deal though).
This sale is for the Wi-Fi version, which normally retails for $139.99. It has a 6-inch touchscreen display with 300ppi, weeks of battery life, won’t tire your eyes in the dark, and can hold thousands of books. Amazon’s WhisperSync technology means your bookmarks are saved in the cloud, allowing you to pick up and continue reading from any device, such as your iPhone or iPad via the Amazon Kindle iOS app.
Prime comes with a 30-day free trial, allowing you to cancel at anytime. The service also includes free Amazon Prime Video and 3 free audiobooks from Audible, plus 20% off diapers with Amazon Family.

Actually I got it for $99.99 CAD back in June. Was $40 off.
Thanks, updated. Prime Day was $99.99 but CCC didn’t show it in the price tracking.
This is a good deal, as long as you’re aware that it doesn’t support e-book downloads via library borrowing systems. It works in America but not in Canada. ¯_(?)_/¯
The Oasis also seemed to have been discontinued in Canada. It shows as “currently unavailable” on the product page, and isn’t featured with the other models in the top navigation bar anymore.
I wonder if new Kindles might be on the way soon. I thought maybe we’d have something at last week’s Amazon event, but that ended up being Echo/Alexa-focused.
In any case, in the current lineup, the Paperwhite (3rd gen) is now over 2 years old, and the Voyage will be 3 years old by the end of the month. It’s time for a refresh! (and hopefully, not a grotesquely overpriced one like the Oasis was).
