Amazon wildly popular Kindle for just $114 : Amazon Kindle Review : Amazon Kindle 3 : Amazon Kindle DX Review

Amazon wildly popular Kindle for just $114 : Amazon Kindle Review : Amazon Kindle 3 : Amazon Kindle DX Review: The new ’Amazon Kindle with Special Offers’ is available for pre-order now and will ship be shipping from May 3. Amazon is now selling the cheapest version of its wildly popular Kindle for just $114. The Kindle with Special Offers is nearly identical to the WiFi-only Kindle, which sells for $139. The $25 price difference is being covered by sponsors, who will serve ads on the device in the form of sponsored screensavers and small ads on the Kindle’s home screen. Special offers, such as a $20 Amazon Gift Card for $10 and $1 albums in the Amazon MP3 Store will be served up to Kindle buyers opting to save $25 on the purchase price of their eReaders.

Amazon will allow Kindle with Special Offers users to set preferences for the sponsored screensavers to reduce the annoyance factor and serve up scenes that fit users’ interests. Buick, Chase, Visa and Olay are Amazon’s launch partners responsible for subsidizing the Kindle with Special Offers.

The 6″ Kindle Wi-Fi is still available for $139 for those not willig to deal with ads and special offers. Those who want to be able to download books on the go can of course still opt for the Kindle 3G + WiFi ($189) or the Kindle DX ($379).
