I received E-mail from Amazon.co.jp. E-mail said that “Kindle
Paperwhite” is price down before shipping. It goes down from 8,480 Yen to
7,980 Yen. Amazon don’t notice why they put down the price but clearly Rakuten “kobo
glo”, competitor’s new e-book reader, have announced in November 1.
I found a movie comparing two readers at Youtube. That’s
interesting.
And, here is a comparative table in Japan.
