Now you can get the same device for nearly 1/3 of that price. However if you strongly feel that Kindle 2 is the way to go for you, then by adding $70.00 you can get refurbished Kindle 2 for $219.00.ĮBook reader market has come a long way since originally Amazon Kindle retailed for $399.00 when it was launched two years ago. The only real drawback of K1 I can honestly admit is that page turning buttons are too soft and therefore are prone to be accidentally pressed when you pick up the device. Personally I like select wheel and cursor bar of K1 better than 5-way controller of K2.Īll in all just like Kindle DX isn’t better or upgraded compared to Kindle 2, Kindle 1 is more different from Kindle 2 rather than inferior or outdated.Not that it would matter, given that K1 just like all other Kindles has free lifetime Internet access.By spending additional $9.90 on 4GB SD card you will get more on-device storage than in Kindle DX.You get same scree resolution as Kindle 2, fewer shades of gray but better contrast according to many users.In one year from now Amazon will likely be out of 1st generation Kindles so warranty exchange will very likely become an upgrade. You still get 1 year warranty from Amazon just like with new Kindle.So, here’s the big question: snag a bargain Kindle now, or wait for the rumored touchscreen version? Let me know what you think. I’d imagine that a touchscreen Kindle would also be smaller and lighter than the current model.Īmazon also has a couple of ad-supported Kindles on sale: the 3G Kindle “With Special Offers” for $139, and Wi-Fi-only “Special Offers” model for $114. The $139 touchscreen Nook is about 10 percent smaller and an ounce lighter than the non-touch Kindle, and it’s won high praise from reviewers.
Amazon is also widely expected to unleash an Android-powered tablet to take on the iPad. Amazon has enabled service options for Out of Warranty Kindle e-readers and Fire TV sticks and Echo devices through its Authorized Service Provider, CTDI in. Perhaps, with the Wall Street Journal reporting just a few weeks ago that a touchscreen version of the Kindle, similar to the recent touch-enabled Nook e-reader from Barnes & Noble, might arrive before the year is out. Amazon is selling the Paperwhite with 8GB of storage and Wi-Fi only for 70 Remove. Nice, but do the price cuts for used Kindles mean that the current models are about to become obsolete? There’s a fantastic deal today on a certified refurbished Kindle Paperwhite, the best e-reader you can buy. Kindle blog Beyond Black Friday spotting the deals late last week.
Meanwhile, those in the market for a cheaper 3G-enabled Kindle can get a refurbished version for $129, a good $60 off the price of a mint-condition model. The factory-refurb Wi-Fi Kindle 3 is now selling for just $99, versus $139 for a new Wi-Fi-only Kindle.
Does Amazon have a touchscreen version of the Kindle up its sleeves? Maybe, maybe not-but for now, at least, bargain hunters can snap up a refurbished, Wi-Fi-only Kindle on the cheap.
