I (obviously) like the discount, but I don't like it that Amazon has it both ways when it comes to Kindles. Comparison pricing almost always cites the special offers price rather than the ad-free price, even though the Kindle is being compared to ad-free devices. If someone doesn't care, then that's valid enough as it's just another feature, like waterproofing or comfort light, but it still seems disingenuous to me. If the comparison were with the ad-free price, or even if the ad-free price were mentioned more prominently, then I would just value it as a feature. But with no Kindle, I'm commenting from the sidelines anyway.
Doesn't apply to the Fires, as there's no direct comparison tablet out there.
