4 Brand New Kindles From Amazon

Founder & CEO of Amazon.com, Jeff Bezos has announced that there are now four brand new versions of the already popular Amazon Kindle available. Bezos has written a special note on the front page of Amazon.com that states, "There are two types of companies: those that work hard to charge customers more, and those that work hard to charge customers less. Both approaches can work. We are firmly in the second camp."

He continued to discuss the new Kindles as follows, "We are excited to announce four new products: the all-new Kindle for only $79, two new touch Kindles – Kindle Touch and Kindle Touch 3G – for $99 and $149, and a new class of Kindle – Kindle Fire – a beautiful full color Kindle for movies, TV shows, music, books, magazines, apps, games, web browsing and more, for only $199."

For all the book reading fanatics out there, this is quite a steal. I applaud Mr. Bezos for considering those going through tough times financially who simply can't afford to drop $500 on an iPad or other expensive tablet.

These new Kindles are sure to bring some competition as they are supposedly the best Kindles Amazon has ever made. Kindle and Kindle Touch have the most-advanced E Ink display technology available, and the 3G Kindle Touch adds free 3G wireless – no monthly fees and no annual contracts. Kindle Fire brings everything they've been working on at Amazon for 15 years together into a single, fully-integrated experience for customers – instant access to Amazon's massive selection of digital content, a vibrant color IPS touchscreen with extra-wide viewing angle, a 14.6 ounce design that's easy to hold with one hand, a state-of-the-art dual core processor, free storage in the Amazon Cloud, and an ultra-fast mobile browser – Amazon Silk – available exclusively on Kindle Fire.
