One other random thought. If the "Special Offers" business model is working and Amazon really is recouping the $30-$40 discount, then why haven't we seen a Kindle Fire with Special Offers? Seems like a no brainer to launch a Fire with Offers at $149 and decimate the B&N offerings, assuming that is that the business model is working. Then again, perhaps it is the lack of a screensaver on the Fire that is the issue, without that constant visibility of ads I suspect the eyeball time would be greatly reduced.
