Kindle Pricing

By Rick | December 20, 2007

One of the chief complaints about Amazon’s Kindle ebook reader is the $399 price tag. While it’s true that the Kindle comes with some conveniences that other ebook readers don’t have (most specifically, free wireless and downloads from the Amazon Kindle Store), it’s also true that a low-end laptop can be had for not much more. The Sony ebook reader is $100 dollars less ($299) without the wireless functionality and access to Amazon. On the other hand, the Cybook Gen 3 costs almost as much as the Kindle ($350) even though it also lacks the wireless capabilities. If you’re not going to get a dedicated ebook reader with E-Ink for much less than $300 anyway, the free wireless and Amazon access is certainly worth the additional $99.
