A few deals on new and refurbished ereaders   no comments

Posted at 8:59 am in eReaders & eBooks on Sale,Random

Staples currently has the Kindle DX on sale for $319.00 with free shipping, a savings of $60 off of  the regular price of $379.  Not sure how long this will last but I wouldn’t count on it being in effect after the weekend.

Update 4/29/2012:  Staples has reduced the price of the Kindle DX even more to $259.

Looks like B&N is cleaning house after the introduction of the Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight – currently you can pick up a Nook Simple Touch refurbished ereader for $59.99 at the Barnes & Noble eBay storefront.

Sony is finally offering the first book in the Harry Potter series free with the purchase of the PRS-T1.  There were rumors that Sony would be doing this before the launch of Sony’s current ereader, but Pottermore didn’t have the Potter ebooks up for sale yet.  This is a limited time offer and only applies to purchases made online at the Sony Store.

Kindle DX Sold Out; Laser EB101 eReader Gets a Review   no comments

Posted at 11:24 pm in kindle dx,Other eReaders,Random

Apparently the Kindle 3 is not the only member of Amazon’s ereader family that is selling well.  The graphite Kindle DX is currently being shown at Amazon as expected to ship in two to three weeks.

* * *

A few days ago I wrote about the Laser EB101 ereader which is a new device being launched in Australia.  The Laser has been reviewed at Oz-E-Books (via iTWire) and seems to follow in the footsteps of the less than fully functional lower priced LCD ereaders that we have seen released lately in the US.

New Kindle DX Announced   no comments

Posted at 10:51 pm in kindle dx,Random

Amazon has just announced a new version of theKindle-DX-Graphite Kindle DX ereader that will be priced at $379 and will have a new e-ink display with higher contrast.  The new DX has a graphite colored body – that alone should give an apparent boost to the contrast.  It looks like the white version will also be available if you prefer.

EDIT:  Only the graphite model is the new DX.  The white Kindle DX,which is still available at a lower price of $359 is the older model.

Amazon says the new display is 50 percent sharper than the present DX ereader.

The display size remains the same at 9.7 inches.

Pre-orders for the new Kindle DXare being taken now, and the new Kindle DX will be released and begin shipping on July 7, 2010. Orders are prioritized on a first come, first served basis. The new DX can also be shipped to customers outside of the U.S.

Kindle DX Global to Start Shipping Tomorrow   no comments

Amazon is due to start shipping the Kindle DX with global Wirelesstomorrow. 

Since Amazon first announced the global wireless connection for the 6-inch Kindle ereader a little over three months ago Kindles are now available in several countries that were not included in the original Kindle Global release.  These countries, which now do get Kindles, include Argentina, Canada, Chile and Thailand.

Refurbished Kindle DX ereaders with US wireless don’t seem to be available at the moment,  but there are a few sellers of used Kindle DX’s with US wirelessat Amazon.  Currently the lowest priced of these is only $40 less than getting a new DX though,  so unless you really wanted the Sprint version I’m not so sure if that would be a very good deal.

This also seems to be true of the Kindle 2; there are no more refurbished Kindle 2 ereaders at the moment,  so I am presuming that Amazon has sold out of their stock.  You can buy used Kindle 2′s at Amazon,  but here again they are only $30 less than a new Kindle Global.
