Although the Kindle Touch went on sale to Aussies back at the start of February through Amazon’s online store, the Dick Smith deal means you can buy the 6-inch touchscreen device in stores in Australia.
You will pay a premium for the privilege though. Dick Smith is charging $185 for the Wi-Fi Kindle Touch, compared to $US139 buying it directly from Amazon. Even with delivery, it’s cheaper to buy it online, but the convenience of buying locally probably means DSE will sell quite a few.
The exclusivity deal is set to end next month, which also means you might be able to save a few bucks buying from Big W when it inevitably launches there. In any case, having a local distributor is a good thing, even if you don’t use them.
Price: From $185
