If you've been putting off buying a Wi-Fi Kindle Wireless Reading Device, you can now get one for just over $100. What's the catch? You'll get ads and special offers sent direct to your Kindle (much as the nook has when used in store at Barnes and Noble). In fact, even if you already have a latest generation Kindle, may want to pick up one of these just to get the ads (I'd like that offer for a $20 gift card for $10, the $1 MP3 albums and $1/each for 6 Audio-books isn't a bad deal either, so long as you aren't forced into a long-term, expensive subscription plan). Maybe Amazon would consider paying existing Kindle owners $25 to install the same firmware that shows the ads as screen savers (hey, some people would pay them $25 to be finally rid of Emily Dickinson and cohorts).What is Kindle with Special Offers?

Special Offers & Sponsored Screensavers
Receive special offers directly on your Kindle. Examples include:
Special offers and sponsored screensavers display on the Kindle screensaver and on the bottom of the home screen—they don't interrupt reading.
- $10 for $20 Amazon.com Gift Card
- $6 for 6 Audible Books (normally $68)
- $1 for an album in the Amazon MP3 Store (choose from over 1 million albums)
- $10 for $30 of products in the Amazon Denim Shop or Amazon Swim Shop
OK, so here is your space - tell me what you think of the new Kindle? Would you pay $25 less (or accept a credit on your account) in return for seeing ads at the bottom of the home page (not in the book when reading) and as the screensaver?
