The Reviews Are In

"
The new Kindle is the best e-reader $100 (or less!) can buy." - Engadget
"
... if what you want is pure e-reading pleasure for the lowest price around, this is a big, definite winner." - GigaOm
"
The new Amazon Kindle rings in at a bargain $79 price, establishes the new class standard
for affordable ebook readers, and still features the best ebook store on the market." - PC Mag
"
I can't think of a single other gadget that costs less than $100 that I'd actually recommend,
which makes the new Kindle just about the best Christmas gift out there." - Popular Science
"
The basic Kindle e-reader from Amazon now starts at $79, a price point that's very hard to resist. It seems that those
of us late-adopters who have hung back will be nicely rewarded for our patience and circumspection." - Chicago Tribune
