The $114 Kindle is the current 6" Wi-Fi model:
"Same bestselling Kindle, plus special offers and sponsored screensavers." - Amazon
"And other than the addition of ads, the latest Kindle is identical to the current one that uses Wi-Fi to wirelessly download books..." - article

Since it's the same hardware, they could easily offer both.
I think that the price break will tempt a lot of parents who would like to get Kindles for their children. (The purchase limit is three.)
It certainly would make a great graduation gift.
