I doubt it will be around Christmas unless they have the kindle 4 coming out. These will sell but I doubt it will be a ton of them. Most people will likely opt for the wi-fi or 3G Kindle. Then there are people who are waiting for the Kindle 4 to come out. The only way they will get people who haven't already bought one and are still on the fence is to take it down to $99.

So if they took off $25.00 for the reason talked about in the thread you would still not save much. 3G is even more expensive. Almost $200.00 so $25.00 off with s/h added on would still have you saving less than $25.00.
It's $145 for wi-fi and $195 for 3G when all is said and done.
