Kindles on Woot today for $150 - SOLD OUT
If you've been wanting a Kindle and waiting for a price drop, this might be a time to jump. These are new Kindles, current generation. (Is it a coincidence that Woot announced today they were being bought by Amazon?)
$149.99 + $5 shipping at Woot.com. |

BREAKING: Woot To Be Acquired By Amazon,
Holy crap! Woot has signed an agreement with Amazon - yes, the Amazon - to become an independent subsidiary of the ecommerce colossus. Woot HQ will remain in Carrollton, Texas, and will operate as autonomously as other Amazon companies like Zappos and Audible. http://thenextweb.com/us/2010/06/30/...mazon-arsenal/ |

I'm sure the Kindle sale was coordinated with Amazon's purchase of Woot. Amazon owned a minority stake beforehand.

Woot sold almost 5000 Kindles at $149 plus $5 shipping. I love Woot and have purchased some great deals from them.

That didn't take long. Dang. Can a moderator change the title of the thread to reflect that it's sold out?

i just read that Amazon is buying Woot. Does that mean more refurbished units showing up on woot? what will it mean for pricing of competing- say Sony- models that hit woot?

Well, we've seen the future. Instead of nifty (and often bizarro) stuff at great prices, it's 20% off a Kindle.
Big whoop. I'm gonna miss woot. |
