$25 off? Give me a break.
Sell me your ad-supported Kindle for $79 and we'll talk. I'm shocked this piddly discount even made the news. Sorry, but this may be the silliest discount I've ever seen for what you get - to stare at years worth of ads.
Does this suggest that there will never be ads on the Wifi / 3G versions? I'll raise hell if my 3G has some crap from Visa flashing across the bottom of the screen. I can see the eBay auctions already:
"RARE Ad-Free Kindle 3G! Mint condition! Only $450 BIN!!
Strange move by Amazon...very strange.
Yes, I know they are subsidizing the cost of the unit for the ads, but still. It's not a good sign for a dedicated book reader. There aren't ads scrolling across paperbacks and I don't want them on my Kindle.
