a.) Kindle Fire $199
b.) Kindle Touch $99
c.) Kindle Touch no 3G $139
FYI: The sales model is now they advertise a price for the Kindle but that price includes advertisements. You can pay $40 extra and not be bothered by ads!
- The Kindle Fire has the most 'horsepower' and best screen but lacks 3G capabilities. Amazon pays for the 3G so there is no extra cost (unlike Apple). The bottom of the line model's screen we think is too small.
