hi all

planning to get a kindle paperwhite from lazada

any reviews on this supplier geekbite?

how do I know the kindle is with ads or without ads?

TIA

Actually the ads quite ok, appear only on lockscreen and when you are not reading. It also show useful discount on some ebooks too.

Can be removed too, bought 1 from them a few months ago. Lazada got discount codes to use and also can use shopback to make it cheaper.

Which is the best ebook reader in your opinion? currently using the kindle 2014 ver but there is a line on the screen which affects the touchscreen.

Is it true that other Brand of ereaders can purchase books from multiple bookstores unlike the kindle which can only buy from amazon?

Not true. Kobo readers can only be used to buy ebooks from kobo store.

Unless you're talking about e-ink readers that basically run the android OS as front. Even so, you have to download their respective apps (kindle app, kobo app) to buy books. So far these ereaders are very buggy, very slow and crash a lot.

Abt $175 after discount

a free pouch, screen protector and 6 mths local warranty.

I am thinking of getting one myself for a planned trip aboard. May I ask how much you have paid for yours, and what 'freebies' were included?

I'm still using my pw gen1 (best purchase since it launched!). No issues so far. When the screen doesn't respond, i just restart it with long press power button.

If you are considering getting a Kindle Paperwhite 3 to replace your Gen 1, but are reluctant to get one shipped here by yourself. You can consider purchasing one from a local reseller. The Lazada link below prices a Paperwhite 3 at the lowest I've seen yet from any local reseller, but does not come with any bundled freebies.

http://www.lazada.sg/amazon-kindle-paperwhite-2016-with-ads-24653255.html?ff=1 (comes with special Ads on lock screen)

It is mildly pricier than getting one shipped directly from Amazon USA at the current discounted rate of USD$99.99 for the Kindle Paperwhite. However, if you take the original price of USD$119.99 and factoring in shipping costs and wait time, the price listed in Lazada can be very competitive. I hope this helps your current situation.
