Bulletin: Amazon Drops Kindle 2 Price By $60 to $299!

This just in....

If you or someone you know has been sitting on the fence and uncertain whether to pull the trigger on the purchase of a new Kindle, there is big news today!

Amazon has just announced a major price cut in the retail price for the Kindle 2. You can now click on this link to place an order for the Kindle 2 for $299 and have it Friday or Monday!


The Kindle 2 was launched February 9 and began shipping February 23 at an original price of $359.

The Kindle 1, originally launched November 19, 2007 at a price of $389 and Amazon lowered its price to $359 in Spring 2008. Used Kindle 1 models are now selling for under $225 on Amazon Marketplace, with Amazon's refurbished models available for $259.99.

The Kindle DX, with the 9.7" display, continues to be sold out with a 3-to-5-week shipping backlog at its original price of $489.

It seems unlikely that Amazon would also be planning a price reduction for the Kindle DX while it is selling out. More likely: Amazon hopes that the Kindle 2 will sell out at the new price point, and thereby boost Kindle DX sales and interest as back-to-school marketing heats up.

SCREENSAVERS -- Please note well: (1) if you replace the Kindle's screensavers you may not be able to get them back, and (2) using your own screen savers may contribute to Kindle display and keyboard freezes

Replace the Kindle's native screensavers with your own selections
