It’s rather interesting that Amazon seem to be utilizing every method possible to clear up Kindle 2 US stock and Kindle 2 stock. We have $189 Kindles and a $150 Kindle deal at Woot and a $139 refurbished Kindle 2 US deal at Amazon. Amazon seem intent on sending out as many Kindles as they can. Combine that with the surprise arrival of the Kindle DX 2 today and all signs point to the imminent arrival of a Kindle 3.
My thoughts exactly. I think we got a preview today of at least two features of the Kindle 3 with the DX 2′s graphite case and improved e-ink screen.
That said, I am still fighting the urge to pick up a Kindle or two for some friends and family today at the Woot price. At $150, the decision to buy a Kindle requires so much less deliberation for the potential buyer. It really validates the wisdom of the strategy that Seth Godin outlined in his “Paperback Kindle” post.
