There are some great ways to get a Kindle cheap these days, just in case you’re on the lookout….
- As always, there’s the usual array of Kindles at current retail prices — the Kindle 3G + Wi-Fi – $189.99, the Kindle DX – $379.99, and the Kindle Wi-Fi – $139.99
- The Kindeal — which is what we call the $114 Kindle Wi-Fi with Special Offers — would have already paid for itself if you’d bought it when it first came out, and it’s not like the amazing deals are going to dry up any time soon.
- Over at Woot – a deal site owned by Amazon — you can pick up a refurbished Kindle 2 today for just $89.99 plus $5 shipping. (Thanks to our colleagues at Kindle Review for the tip.)
- And finally, you can get a Kindle absolutely free if you happen the emerge as the winner of Kindle Nation’s current Kindle giveaway sweepstakes, which closes tomorrow, May 24, at 6 pm Eastern time.
What’s the Woot deal all about? Well, if Amazon were announcing a new Kindle-compatible product sometime in the next three or four months, it would be natural to want to clear out the “refurbished”inventory of everything but the latest-generation Kindle. Not only do we think that Amazon will announce a Kindle tablet in June or July (for shipment sometime before Labor Day), but we’re set up to send you a personal email alert when the K-Tab is ready for order — all you have to do to get on the list is send an email to kindlenation+KTab@gmail.com.
Meanwhile, don’t forget to check today’s Free Book Alert to make sure you have plenty of good reading to look forward to any or all of your present and future KIndles!
