More Kindle news: Why you shouldn't jump at the $100 discount
Posted by: in General NewsZach’s post on the Kindle reminded me of two other Kindle-related tidbits.
First, Chase and Amazon have put together a deal. Folks who sign up for one of Chase’s Amazon Rewards Visa will get $100 off when they purchase a Kindle, which normally sells for $359.
If you had been considering a Kindle before, that sale might tempt you to make the jump, but I’d actually advise patience.
As Zach’s story notes, reportedly plans to introduce new Kindle models soon.
That blog post at BusinessWeek’s Web site says the new model will be both considerably better and considerably cheaper:
Certainly, the device has to be thinner. From what I’m told, that’s going to be the case. It needs to be cheaper; I’m told the price of the new model will come down to $299 or maybe $249. And it needs a more intuitive, infectiously-cool interface. I’m told there’s been big progress here, as well–including changes to the oversized buttons that make it too easy to inadvertently move on to the next page.
Sounds like a pretty big update.
