I just received an email from Amazon alerting me that they’ve dropped their price on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9′ from $299 to $269. A $30 price reduction is pretty nice and now it is $130 dollars less than the iPad. I am guessing their motivation for lowering the price on the Kindle Fire is competing with the popular but pricey Apple products.
This 16 GB tablet comes with special offers which are basically coupons and deals available through Amazon. I have the regular e-ink Kindle with special offers (for $69) and I have gotten several baby related coupons. You can see the offers directly on your kindle and choose to have any interesting deals emailed to you. You usually get some kind of one-time use coupon code. I don’t find the offers annoying at all – they are just your screen saver. Speaking of my Kindle, I need to dust it off and try and finish Game of Thrones – Book One!
