Tracey,
It’s the gold box deal right now. Follow the link, where it says category drop down and choose kindle store and it should pop right up.
I don’t see it..
Facebook post says $179 (which seems accurate for the 16G version. This website post says $129 for an 8G, which I haven’t seen on the Amazon page.
