Time for Google to counter Amazon and drop the price of the Nexus 7 to $159 (8GB) and $199 (16GB).

Here is what I don't get.
Why speed up the high end HD with LTE and then strangle it with a 250 MB data plan? The only reason I can see is that streaming from Amazon will not be included in that data plan, otherwise it doesn't make sense. |

$119 with special offers, $139 without. That makes more sense. It still crushes everybody not named Kobo and is closer to last year's prices. ($10 price drop.) |

Whoa!
Bezos is sneaky. One more thing: FireHD LTE4 with 64GB: $599. Yes, he *is* going after iPad this time around. Edit: 7in with 32GB - $249. And it is 1280x800 resolution. Last edited by fjtorres; 09-06-2012 at 04:05 PM. |

Just ordered a special offers Paperwhite! Very timely for me because a friend sat on my K3 (I had placed it on my camp chair) while I was kayaking over Labor Day weekend and broke the screen. It was 5 months out of warranty. Getting a better Kindle for less money softened the blow.
