Kindle is more expensive, less value discount – ALLESebook.de

Amazon is known to be very flexible when it comes to the pricing of its own hardware. eBook Reader and tablets of the company are constantly, reduced to all sorts of occasions. In particular, the price action in the readers provide always new bargain deals. However it’s done sometimes in the opposite direction. A few months ago the Kindle Paperwhite 2 was surprisingly expensive

In the course of several days the price of eReaders 99 was increased to EUR 119 euros, to be reduced by only a few hours later. At that time, Amazon had possibly entered just the Paperwhite 3 into the system, which appeared finally with the higher starting price in June.

Now there’s the Kindle base model a similar effect: The reader was published in September 2014 and arrived in this country, including for 59 Euro discount on the market.. Enthusiasm has caused neither the price nor the advertising support, nevertheless, the device has a low-priced entry-level model but its raison d’etre.

However, if you now take a look at the Amazon homepage throws, then the Kindle costs suddenly 69.99 euros. The price for the ad-supported version is thus 10 Euro higher than the market launch. A justification for there’s actually not, because technically has since 2014 changed nothing. Strictly speaking, the eBook Reader is the new competitors actually even become slightly worse relative, since the modern e-ink Carta technology has slowly but surely been introduced in all current models.

The basic model is currently more expensive than the market launch

Apart from that is the price gap to continue available Paperwhite 2 now so low that it should work in every case to the illuminated model. The price-performance ratio here is much better.

Kindle Paperwhite 2 for 99.99 euros buy

This naturally raises the question whether it is (again) to be a bug, or the change was intentionally performed. Speak the aforementioned details, as well as the fact that the ad-free version with a 10 euro surcharge is more favorable than is usually the case for an error. Otherwise (e) Amazon.de always 20 euros more calls so far for the ad-free version. The Kindle Paperwhite 3 costs without discount accordingly continue 139.99 euros.

However, if you throw a glance to France or England, it turns out that there seem to have lost value, the discount with which various Kindle models are subsidized.

In both and in other country-specific Amazon Stores (Italy, Spain, etc.) you pay only 10 euros extra for the ad-free ebook reader.

It is conceivable that Amazon introduced a new pricing structure for the Special what would not come as a complete surprise, given the changes to the advertising concept. When the subsidies were introduced, they wanted to major (partly listed) companies win their products to put in scene. Visa, Olay, Buick and Chase were the first partners that Amazon was able to convince the advertising concept. Their ads were first switched on Kindle Keyboard (only in the US). In addition, customers have the opportunity to select preferred advertising circuits over AdMash.

in Europe is here it eventually but still nothing, because usually there’s no prominent advertising partners. Instead, only Kindle eBooks Amazon and diverse products (charger, case, etc.) are staged so that the Group’s advertising revenues and subsidies intern at best a little umschlichtet. Whether the end result is a black figure, remains open.

The conversion of the Kindle special offer appears in respect to the other European Kindle offers any case no fault to be and could provide an outlook on the pricing of the next Kindle models.

In the coming weeks, Amazon is expected to introduce a successor to the Kindle Voyage, the then this country could come up with the new pricing model on the market.
