Well, let's just make sure we are talking the same language. When you say you want a Kindle, are you specifically looking for a Kindle or for an electronic book reader?

Yes, Amazon is the only source for new Kindles and AFAIK they only have one price -- no special promotions or anything. You can find used Kindles at the usual places (e.g., ebay).

However, when you say: "Is there anything cheaper...". The answer is yes if you are looking for an ebook readers (not necessarily a Kindle brand reader). Right now, I am a Kindle fan, and I rate it tops (if you are in the U.S.). However, you may be able to get equivalent technology in the Sony for as cheap as $200 -- look in their forums to see whether it is still that cheap, since it was a special sale. Also, the Astak EZ reader is supposed to be on sale at Frys.com on July 3,4. I don't know the price, but its supposed to be the lowest ever, and I believe its already been down to $220 at one point in time. Another reader is the Etaco Jetbook (a slightly smaller reader with a different screen technology) -- its said to be available at $170.

If you are just looking for any ebook reader, then go up into the thread: "which one should I buy", describe your situation, and you will get lots of advice.
