On the heels of the Barnes & Noble introduction of the nook Wi-Fi and price reduction of the nook 3G earlier today comes a similar price reduction from Amazon on its Kindle ebook reader. The price is now US$189 down from US$259.
Since its release, Kindle has been the #1 bestselling product across the millions of items sold on Amazon. Kindle is in stock and available for immediate shipment at the new lower price of $189.
Recent rumours suggest that Amazon will announce a third-generation Kindle later this summer. Both 3G and Wi-Fi only models are a possibility.
