$79 Dollar Kindle?? What the Wha?
So Amazon has once again exceeded expectations in the reader department. According to a report on Gizmodo the new Kindle Touch is $99. Yeah. $99. Wow. Amazon amazes me with its ability to cut the price on this device line. The Kindle Fire (Read Color) is only going to be $200.00 too!
The Fire is a cloud based device also and that means it will have access to content galore. Granted it doesn't have all of the iPad features and it is Wi-Fi only but that's still a powerful little device with a good price.
Now onto the $79 Kindle. This is the same size as the Kindle Touch but without the touch controls. I haven't seen any details on performance or features for this model but I would guess that it is comparable to what is out right now.
All in all this is great news for the self-published, or traditionally published. More devices in more hands=More readers. At 79 bucks I think we're going to be seeing these devices all over the place.
