A listed discount can look bigger than the actual price drop. Check the exact model with a price tracker, and factor in subscriptions, shipping and bundle contents before you decide.
Check whether your library's ebooks work on the specific model you're considering. A lightweight black-and-white reader can suit novels, while app-only loans may work best on a device you already own.
