Amazon yesterday introduced the Kindle 3G with Special Offers. Much like the Kindle with Special Offers it launched in April, the Kindle 3G with Special Offers is US$25 cheaper than the regular Kindle 3G but displays special offers and sponsored screensavers.
“Kindle is the bestselling e-reader in the world. It’s been just six weeks since we introduced the new $114 Kindle with Special Offers, and already customers have made it the bestselling member of the Kindle family,” said Jay Marine, Director, Amazon Kindle. “In response to customer requests, we’re now making these money-saving special offers available for Kindle 3G. You will get all the features readers love about Kindle 3G – free 3G wireless, global wireless access, Pearl electronic ink display that’s easy to read even in bright sunlight, access to over 950,000 ‘Buy Once, Read Everywhere’ Kindle books – all for just $164 – the lowest price for any 3G e-reader.”
The Kindle 3G with Special Offers is now available for US customers for US$164.
I’m still not sold on the concept but it appears that a lot of people are.
