Amazon has cut the price of the Kindle by $70 to $189 in response to Barnes & Noble’s Nook price cut and, probably, Apple’s iBooks threat.
A WiFi only Nook is still cheaper at $150, but for the extra $40, it’s worth having an always on 3G wireless connection.
The 3G Nook is $199, which is more expensive than the Kindle.
At $189, there’s almost no reason to buy a Nook, which means…we can probably expect ANOTHER price cut from Barnes & Noble.
There’s nothing like a price war for consumers.
For me, iPads are just great for lite reader or for those you just want some extra features. But for the best pure eReader. Can Kindle allows you to surf the web?
#19 ECA, Thank you. Please post them here, if you could.
Mary, Kindle does allow you to surf the web, it’s under experimental, and needs work.
Any chance the Kindle will be useful in anything less than perfect lighting?
Is the Nook or Iliad good at this?
Whoever named the Nook should have repeated the phrase “Nook e-reader” several times in rapid succession before deciding whether it was a good trademark.
MikeN: M-Edge makes great covers and lights for all of the readers. I use the black leather Executive case and the light they make fits perfectly in the case.
So it’s not much different than actually reading a book.
Sprint is not a local provider and the Kindle doesn’t do wi-fi end of discussion.
