Amazon to Release Ad-Subsidized Kindle for $114
Bizarre:
Ads will appear on the device’s screen saver and show up as a banner on the homepage, but will not appear inside books.
It’s only a $25 savings from the normally-$139 Kindle 3. I’m sure they can find buyers for it, but at what cost to Amazon’s (and the Kindle’s) image?
Agreed. This is such a paltry discount. If it were like fifty dollars, now maybe it would be more exciting.
