About a week ago I posted about how Amazon had cut the price of the Kindle DX from $379 to $299. As expected it was indeed a final sale to eliminate stock, because the Kindle DX is no longer available for purchase from Amazon; it’s only being sold used through third party merchants.

I was doing some browsing at Amazon when I noticed that the Kindle DX has been added to the Kindle family box at the top of Kindle pages, with a new lower price of $299. Previously it sold for $379. And it looks like the price drop is permanent because on the product page for [...]

Some folks over at MobileRead have noticed that Amazon is now limiting Kindle 3G usage to just 50MB per month for the experimental web browser.

The Gold Box deal of the day at Amazon.com is the Graphite Kindle DX. It is selling for $299. The regular price is $379. This is the first time that Amazon has run any kind of one-day sale for a Kindle. All the other times they have dropped in price it was permanent. Makes you [...]

The Graphite Kindle DX is on sale this week for $299 from Best Buy, Staples, and possibly other Kindle retailers. That’s $80 off the regular price. This promotion is for in-store purchases only; Amazon’s online price is still $379, unfortunately. The Kindle DX has a 9.7″ display and features the latest screen technology from E [...]
