I mentioned in a post on Friday that in the first 24 hours with my new Kindeal, I was up $35.

Forty-eight hours later, the tally is up to $45, because today I responded to my Kindeal’s offer of a $20 Amazon.com gift card for $10.

Here’s the only tally that counts on these Kindle deals, in my view:

• Cost of a Kindle Wi-Fi at Time of My Kindeal Purchase: $139
• Direct Savings with Kindeal, as of May 11, 2011: $45.00
• Number of Times a Kindeal Ad Has Interrupted My Reading: 0

Note to Amazon: I have no plans to buy a Buick or hundreds of dollars worth of Olay products, but keep those deals coming where I get what is essentially currency for half price and I’m your guy! At this rate, the Kindeal may save me $139 and pay for itself before it is one month old!

But that doesn’t mean that the Kindeal is the best deal currently on the table for a new Kindle. It’s strictly up to you, and here are the contenders including special “Mother’s Day” Gft Card deals:

• KINDEAL – $114
• Kindle Wi-Fi – $139
• Kindle 3G + Wi-Fi with Free $25 Gift Card – $189
• Kindle DX with Free $25 Gift Card – $379
