Will You Consider Buying a Kindle at Its New Price?

GeekSugar — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 03:50:17 -0700

Another price reduction on Amazon's Kindle - this time to $259. It's only been three months since the Kindle's price dropped to $300, and ReadWriteWeb predicts that e-reader sales are expected to increase dramatically, especially over the holiday season.

You've had mixed reactions to buying a Kindle, and when I asked last year, most of you said you weren't interested in buying one. Will that change with a lower price?

How to Find Free Kindle Books on Amazon

GeekSugar — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 11:04:33 -0700

Since you've saved up your hard-earned money to purchase a Kindle, why not treat yourself with some free eBooks?

Unfortunately Amazon doesn't have one area on its site that showcases all of the fabulous and free available Kindle books for download, but I've sorted all of the books from lowest priced to highest price, which inevitably lists all of the free books first! From there you can click on the different subjects on the left side of the page to find exactly what you're looking for. Who says you need to pay top dollar for a decent read?

And speaking of Kindles, have you entered our Kindle giveaway today? It's the last day, so be sure to log in and take BuzzSugar's book quiz!
