I am tired of how bad Amazon’s Kindle – Deals are – and Prime Day will probably not be different

In the run -up to that of last year Amazon Prime DaySo many people I spoke to said they were planning to buy a new one Disconnect In the sale. I proudly told them that it was a smart move, as I said countless times before, because Prime Day is when Amazon Devices are available for their lowest prices ever. Then the big sale rolled around and we saw Some of the most disappointing Kindle deals in recent memory. Yikes.
Another year later and I hear the same hope and dreams of friends, family and colleagues who keep an eye on a new ereader for Prime Day. And I am here to tell you that, oh oh, I don’t think it will get better in 2025.
New technology, new higher prices
First two updated models of the most popular Kindle and Kindle PaperWhite were launched in October last year. That led to a number of welcome, albeit reasonably overwhelming, deals in the Black Friday sales.
Since then I have been able to count the number of price reductions on these ereaders in both the US and the UK on the one hand. In comparison with the regular and aggressive discounts on the last generation of child lessons, Amazon seems more reluctant to demand the new and improved versions.
Of course they will certainly be reduced for Prime Day. That is a fact. Amazon itself even has plagued that deals come on the Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite In the sale. Yet I cannot see them go as low as I have seen in recent years. The days of a $ 59.99 / £ 34.99 Kindle have unfortunately disappeared for a long time.
And that is before I call the Kindle Scribe and Kindle Colorsoft. These two devices are certainly in line for deals on Prime Day, but given that they are already more expensive Premium models with advanced functions and possibilities, you do not see them cheaply.
Kindle is king
I also think that, with the way in which so much anticipation is placed on Prime Day as the best time to pick up Amazon products, the retailer does not necessarily have to go to his most popular items for such substantial discounts. Of course, it will hold an Echo Dot of Fire TV to nothing to get Alexa and the Amazon Ecosystem in your home, but the Kindle is a different proposition.
Despite admirable competition from people such as Kobo and Onyx, the Kindle is still well established as one of the Best ereaders You can buy. Amazon knows that it is on a winner with this one.
Current readers may also be locked up in an existing collection of books from the exclusive Library of Amazon, set up with recurring Kindle Unlimited subscriptions and enjoy the benefits of regular free books via Prime.
When you weigh those things, it is difficult to see why Amazon would like to sell Kindles as cheaply as in the past. I think that is playing why discounts have been less and smaller lately.
And then there is everything else going on
Finally, there are a handful of other wider factors to consider bundle together. We live in a world where nowadays everything costs more. The rate zonzin still has manufacturers and retailers Jumpy. Consumer spending power is generally across the board.
As a British guy with a film diploma, I will not dare to wade about the details of how he will influence the price of a Kindle, but I don’t have to study economy to know that it all has an impact. Amazon will undoubtedly consider all this when it comes to determining prices for his sale of only members. It is the same members Extra charging if you want to delete ads on prime video.
I am willing to be pleasantly surprised, but I am not hopeful. Just putting together, the technology is newer, the discounts throughout the year delayed, Prime Day is an established sale, and the current state of the world all points to a different disappointing year for Kindle Deals.
