In response to Barnes and Noble offering a cheaper Nook electronic eBook reader, Amazon.com has responded with a brand-new Kindle at a cheaper price ($139). They’ve also upped the storage considerably, to 3500 books.<\/p>\n In response to Barnes and Noble offering a cheaper Nook electronic eBook reader, Amazon.com has responded with a brand-new Kindle at a cheaper price ($139).

Keep in mind you won’t have worldwide 3G coverage for this Kindle – you’ll have to download\/purchase books over WiFi or buy them through your computer and transfer them through USB.<\/p>\n
Changes:<\/strong> This new price has made things interesting. I still favor eBook readers that support the easy addition of books through Calibre<\/a> as well as storing them on SD or SDHC flash memory cards, since you are locked in to Amazon.com’s Kindle store, but this will shake up the market.<\/p>\n To view more or purchase the new Kindle, see the new Kindle page at Amazon.com<\/a>. It will be available August 27, 2010.<\/p>\n To see what books are available through Amazon.com’s Kindle that might be of interest to genealogists, please see our genealogy books on the Kindle section<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In response to Barnes and Noble offering a cheaper Nook electronic eBook reader, Amazon.com has responded with a brand-new Kindle at a cheaper price ($139).
