Amazon Prime Bargains - Chat Thread

I’ve the paper white a while it’s fantastic tbh

The basic Kindle is a bargain at £24 with trade in £20 gift card with an extra 20% off the kindle. You'll have to get it up north to a UPS collection point though, it picked up my Parcel wizard address as the return and I'd only seen it after I submitted the trade in request and received email.

Paperwhite is £58

I've being trying to decide between them for a while now, USB C is the main reason I want to upgrade. My 2014 kindle still works perfectly, battery life isn't quite what it was but it still lasts a couple of weeks between charges. How much longer I will get out of it the question though.

Main reason to go for the Paperwhite is the bigger and flush screen and it's waterproof. I've always found the 6" screen big enough and the smaller bezels of the new one make it a lot more pocket-able. Don't plan to float in a pool with it either! The resolution of them is the same at 300dpi I now which used to be the main plus of the paperwhite.

Leaning to the Paperwhite the smaller form factor means I'm more like to bring it with me. The Paperwhite is tempting though for the better specs. Might just end up getting both in the long run!

I got a 7th generation kindle paperweight for something like 20 euro last year . Don’t suppose we’ll see deals like that any time soon ?

refurnished and was missing a charging cable so they refunded me 10 euro !

I need a kindle for the wife and a fire tablet for a kid :)

Been out of the loop for a while (since new website) is there a new parcel motel alternative for UK only deliveries ?

I'm reasonably close to the border and have used Oohpod for a delivery to Jonesborough (Co Down) that wouldn't ship to Ireland... Usually something like €3.50 a parcel, has worked great for me

Thanks for the suggestions

I'm seeing dpd are offering a virtual address so assumed they'd figured it out since stopping that service after brexit. But can find no mention on the website must be out of date info. Deliver me is €25 a package and I'm too far away from border to use a pick up locker

Thanks all

I took a photo of the pre prime offers at 11.58pm for some stuff and maybe I'm just too tired but I can't seem to match the items with the prime day offers.

As I said probably just the brain not working right now!

Any of the kindles with a backlight is worth getting- the heavy one with metal back imho less so. We had both.

Go to camelcamelcamel and search for the item. It will show you a price history and you'll be able to see if it's a decent discount or not.

Anyone aware of a dedicated chat on boards where folks are posting prime deals today? My boards searchbar keeps giving me an error message, and I won't have the time to scour the bargains today. Thanks

Not on boards but these might help someone. Fiddle around with the filters to find stuff you are looking for

Just realised it's the old issue of an item being over €150 pre-offer and under €150 with the offer. They apply the fees to the base price, then deduct the offer
