Amazon Kindles for 25 dollars off…
Amazon.com wants everybody to have their proprietary Kindle eBook readers. In pursuit of that goal they have already cut prices several times.
Now they have a new enticement. You can buy a Kindle for the rock bottom price of 114 dollars if you are willing to put up with some special screen savers that are essentially advertisements. I’m not kidding.
For 25 dollars off the lowest current Kindle price of 139 dollars you can have a Kindle that will try to sell you products. Amazon.com, what a company!

for those who never read the actual amazon announcement carefully, Amazon assured that the ads will not appear when people are actually reading.

Smart move. If you’ve used a Kindle, you know they’re worth much more than Amazon charges for them. My understanding is that the regular price is Amazon’s break even point, so this price must be subsidized by the advertisers. Once the technology drops some more, I wouldn’t be surprised if we started seeing branded Kindles (collect enough Coke bottle caps and earn a Coca Cola Kindle, etc.).

Well 448, while some of us are accustomed to seeing ads for the amazing X-Ray Specs and those Fabulous Sea Monkeys in our books there are some few of us who might wish to read books without having any blatant advertising obscuring the view…while a lot of people read newspapers only to see the ads…

Outrages! It’s like paying for a newspaper and having more adds than news!
