Amazon drops Kindle price to $359 (with FREE 2-day shipping)
If you’ve been waiting for the price to lower on Kindle before you pick one up, wait no longer. Amazon has just dropped the price from $399 to $359 (and it still ships to you free via 2-day air). It may be a while before you see any further price drops…
I picked up a Kindle about a month and a half ago. While I have not yet written a comprehensive review, suffice it to say that I love mine so far. I’ve read a couple of books, peruse the New York Times daily, and have downloaded a couple of samples from new authors I may try out. It’s all integrated quite nicely and reading is very pleasant.
As I sat organizing hundreds of books at home yesterday, I actually decided to get rid of the vast majority of them since I could always get them for the Kindle; inexpensive much of the time and free for others. Any book that’s part of the public domain, and most of the older classics are lumped in that category, I can get for free via Project Gutenberg.
Any of you folks planning on purchasing a Kindle? What’s it going to take for you to switch?

Hey Eric — I’ve been biding my time as well — think that I’ll just wait until I read myself through my book backlog — and, given the size of said backlog that could be past v3.0 of the Kindle! But, glad to hear that you’re loving it — I’ve used it several times, and loved it. Just need to match supply and demand on my personal level
Hey Dave,
Thanks for dropping by. I’ve been surprised by how necessary I feel the Kindle is for me now, even as a V1 product. It is part of the bag I carry with me every day, it’s my New York Times and multiple books all at once. I cannot wait to see the future iterations. The included wireless connection really does take the cake and make it more useful than any of the others I’ve seen on the market.
