Amazon to Release Ad-Subsidized Kindle for $114

marco:

Bizarre:

Ads will appear on the device’s screen saver and show up as a banner on the homepage, but will not appear inside books.

It’s only a $25 savings from the normally-$139 Kindle 3. I’m sure they can find buyers for it, but at what cost to Amazon’s (and the Kindle’s) image?

$99 should have been the price point.
