From teleread:

I recently bought a $139 Kindle without Special Offers & Sponsored Screensavers and now I feel gypped. So I paid $25 more and I won’t get any of these nice discounts Amazon plans to offer owners of the new Kindle? That stinks. I wonder if they’d let me opt in after the fact. Seriously, this makes no sense. They should let all Kindle owners opt into this program, not just the ones that paid less than the rest of us.

I know prices are always subject to change but I really wish Amazon would have initially priced this new device at $99 or less. As soon as the Kindle gets below $100 they’ll have a mass market hit on their hands. I can’t believe I’m saying that, particularly since I gave up on the Kindle a year ago. Amazon has done some smart things since then though and this is just one example.
