Fantastic device – pick your Kindle!
By Amazonoholic
Having been a little overwhelmed by the selections among all the new Kindles and which one to get, I ordered this new basic $79 Kindle original to take for a spin. So far, I like what I see! I also own a Kindle 3 so that’s the only device I may genuinely compare it to at this time (I think a comparison amongst other tablets and this Kindle is meaningless, this device is all with regards to content and delivery):

New $79 Kindle versus $99 Kindle Keyboard: Differences That Might Matter to You
By Ripley Scott
I own a 3rd generation Kindle 3G with keyboard (now called Kindle Keyboard) and have tried the NEW $79 KSO Kindle. I plan to get my wife a Kindle for her birthday so I have seriously considered this model. Here are the main divergences I see amidst the two models with a lot of personal comments.
AUDIO: New $79 Kindle has NO Speakers Or Audio Jack. The Kindle Keyboard has a 3.5mm stereo audio jack & rear-mounted stereo speakers.
The new Kindle has no text-to-speech option or audio capability for audio books(think Audibles.com) or music. Kindle Keyboard has these features and at least gives you the OPTION to listen to audio books if you choose. If audio doesn’t matter to you this is no real disfavor for the $79 Kindle.

Outstanding Value and Perfect Price Point
By Michael P. Gallagher
The new Kindle with Special Offers (“KSO”) arrived today – this review reflects my preliminary observations after using it for when it comes to two hours. A better, more-reflective review must (in my opinion, at least) be based upon a couple of weeks of use of loading it up with lots of books, deleting said books as they are read, loaded up again, etc. Not to mention a few games here and there like Scrabble. Please check back after a couple of weeks and I will update this review to reflect how “time tells” on this device. I am also writing this from the perspective of being a long-time Kindle user vs. somebody brand new.
