I don't really get it. The difference between a 3G and Wifi-only Kindle is ~ $50. Do they really expect to pick up much extra difference when the price between the ad-free Wifi and ad-supported Wifi is only $25? If they could get it under $100, then they'd at least cross a psychological barrier where (potentially) a lot more people would buy one, but $114 vs. $139 doesn't seem that exciting to me.
