Information Madness

The Kindle 4 is the cheapest Kindle yet. The Amazon Kindle 4 is also known as the Fourth Generation Kindle. The significant thing is its extra ordinary pricing. There are many dedicated eBook readers in the world. These readers need the vertical integration of being linked with a book seller, both in terms of usability and the subsidy to the initial purchase price. Amazon, as the biggest book store, can subsidize its e-readers the most.

Unlike the Kindle Touch and the Kindle Fire, the Kindle 4 is actually a cut down version of last year’s Kindle 3 which is now known as the Kindle keyboard, talking of which the new Kindle does not have a keyboard. This may not be a major issue as this eBook reader could vie for the position of being the best in the market in terms of screen, book choice and price.

When the eBook reader is priced this low at around id="mce_marker"32, it opens up the e-readers to a new market. As a consumer, you are less worried about taking the Kindle into places where you may think twice about using expensive electronics such as the beach or the bathroom. Another big factor in its favor is that Amazon sells more books in Kindle eBook format than in print these days and the pricing of this Kindle is going to justify and accelerate that kind of trend.
