New ad-supported model for the Kindle

The fish aren't going to bite for $25. The Kindle should be priced below $99 by now - (more like $49.95). Amazon should consider a book of the month club model - get the Kindle free if you purchase a book a month for two years - first two books are free!

Amazon has announced a refreshed version of its popular e-book reader, the Kindle. Named Kindle with Special Offers, the hardware is the same as the previous Kindle, with the 6-inch e-ink display and 8.5 ounce weight. However, Amazon is now subsidizing the cost a bit with advertising on the Kindle itself.

Named AdMash, the service will provide a preview of the ads that users can vote on. Users of the Kindle with Special Offers can personalize their ad experience as well, with suggestions for the types of ads that they would like to see on their Kindle. Read more at www.mobileburn.com
