Do kindles go on sale? Is there a good time to buy?


Recommended Posts

Really?

 

I thought they were sold out long ago.

 

New ones announced today. The new entry-level Fire is a bit beefier than the old ones, and cheaper. *All* the new Fires are ad-supported.

Thanks everyone! It's a Christmas gift, so I can wait until black Friday, but I refuse to go into a store that day, are they online deals?

 

 

Just know that they often sell out and get back ordered 6-8 weeks, so it might not arrive in time for Christmas.

 

ETA: The regular Kindles (with ads) are now $69. That's a great price! I have a Kindle Keyboard, but I'm thinking of upgrading to the new paperwhite 3G. I like the new front lighting, which eliminates the need for an external light. A lot of people are already griping that the new paperwhites don't have speakers, which means you can't use text to speech (which is bloody awful to be honest) or listen to audio books. Personally, if I want an audio book, I'll put it in my iphone, but I very, very rarely listen to books anyway, so I don't really care.

Thank you! I'm going to order it now so I don't have to worry about it in December.
