On a recent visit to the Currys Castle Marina store in Nottingham I purchased a kindle e-reader. This was after consulting with an instore assistant. There were 2 kindles available the kindle paperwhite and the kindle e-reader. I asked what the difference was and after some deliberation the shop assistant basically didn't really know, he was guessing and read out the on shelf tickets, which I had already done, he came to the conclusion that the kindle e-reader was the older version and that was why there was a price difference. The kindle paperwhite was £107 and the kindle e-reader was £49.99 including a £10 discount. Based on what the shop assistant had advised I decided to purchase the kindle e-reader at £49.99. Having set up my purchase at home I can't believe how wrong I was to choose the kindle e-reader. It is not the older version of the kindle paperwhite. It doesn't have the same features of the kindle paperwhite. There is no back light and therefore I can't read in the dark, to do this I need to purchase a separate light. If I had know this I would definitely not have purchased this item. On the kindle I purchased there are adverts. To remove these adverts I can pay £10, so not really a £10 discount on the purchase price. I wasn't told this in store. There was no plug in the box, again I have to purchase this separately, I wasn't told this in store. Finally the cable to charge my purchase is faulty, there seems to be a loose connection somewhere. In conclusion I feel I was completely mis informed about the product I purchased, it is not fit for purpose and I now have to spend more money to make it work for me. Would I recommend to my friends purchasing goods from the Currys store Nottingham - NO Would I recommend purchasing the kindle e-reader to my friends -NO
