Kindle Pricing

http://www.futureofcapitalism.com/2010/08/kindle-pricing

The Wall Street Journal has a full-page print ad, and the Amazon.com Web site is touting, the new generation of Kindle electronic readers. The pricing proposition in both the ad and the Web site goes something like this"kindle free 3G + wi-fi $189" and "kindle wi-fi only $139." In other words, the device is $139, but if you want the "free 3G," you've got to pay $189, or an additional $50. Call me old fashioned, but by my calculation, that isn't "free" 3G, it's 3G at a cost of $50.

Thanks to FutureOfCapitalism reader-participant-community member-watchdog-content co-creator S. for the tip.
