Back to the original post...

I'm considering buying a Kindle for my holiday next week but was wondering if they cost the same everywhere? I just want the basic model which seems to be £69 everywhere.

If the price is fixed, does anybody know if there is a retailer offering cashback or any other incentives?

    Thanks for the reply but unfortunately i don't have any Tesco vouchers. I think i may just have to bite the bullet and buy it direct from Amazon. At least i'll get a few Nectar points.

    I bought mine last November, trust me I searched and searched to make sure I couldn't get it cheaper anywhere. Although it was £20 more last year, does that make you feel better? :D

    I don't go on cashback sites, for no reason, I just don't. But the only offer I could find at the time was Tesco's doing £10.00 off a £50.00 electrical spend and the Kindle counted as electrical. Not sure if this offer is still on, might be worth checking it out.

    You can try PC World or Currys and can get cashback via a new Daily mail cashback service.

    Just a suggestion though- Why don't you try Nook tablet? Its the same price, glowing one and has a great battery back up. Have heard some really positive things about this one.
