Amazon Reduces Kindle 3G Price $25 to $164 with New KINDLE 3G+WI-FI WITH SPECIAL OFFERS

“KINDEAL 3G” – Kindle 3G + Wi-Fi with Special Offers – $164

It’s not the Kindle Tablet, but there’s a new member of the Kindle family this evening!

You can now buy a 3G+Wi-Fi 6″ Kindle for just $164. It’s what we call the KINDEAL, and what Amazon calls the Kindle with Special Offers.

I’ve owned the $114 Wi-Fi KINDEAL  for several weeks and it has already paid for itself with special deals for things that I would have purchased even without the deals. The $114 Wi-Fi KINDEAL is already the #1 bestselling product at Amazon, but don’t be surprised if it gives way soon to this new $164 3G + Wi-Fi KINDEAL.

For the record, the sponsored screen savers on the KINDEAL are no more bothersome than the old literary portrait screensavers had become, and otherwise I never see an ad unless I choose to see an ad. When Amazon offers me books, music, and other products at prices significantly less than I was prepared to pay, I choose to see those ads, just as I tend to grab the supermarket circular when I walk into the supermarket.

You can order the new “KINDEAL 3G” – Kindle 3G + Wi-Fi with Special Offers – $164 now for immediate shipment and have it, depending on when you read this and where you live, on Thursday or Friday.

Here’s Amazon’s press release:
