This is interesting. Kindle Readers have really held the price- even during the holidays we didn’t see sales on these. Amazon is now offering $25 off on all 3 types of Kindle readers. This is a special promotion on a new Kindle- from what I see it sounds like you save $25 if you will buy this new version on Kindle that allows commercial interuptions.
Amazon says the device has “sponsored screensavers” so basically commercials on the screensaver. They say you will also get special offers- according to Amazon discounted Amazon products are part of the special offers.
This says there is no interuption to reading at all but it says you will get these special offers at the bottom of the home screen as well as on the screensaver.
You can preorder the devices now and they will ship May 3rd. If you have one of these in mind for Mother’s Day, you might want to think about ordering it now. Kindle is the #1 seller on Amazon so there is always the chance they will sell out and go on backorder. If you preorder now you should get it in plenty of time for Mother’s Day.
My husband has an iPad and I have been using it with the free Kindle app. I can tell you I really like having an e-reader. I usually try to read a little before bed and it is so nice to turn off the lights so my husband can sleep and yet I can still see my book perfectly on the iPad.
You can see a list of free Kindle books I have posted recently here.
