Amazon has announced a third, cheaper version of its Wi-Fi-only Kindle 3 device called Kindle With Special Offers.
At $114, the 6-inch device costs $25 less than the current Wi-Fi-only model and sports all of the same specs. The catch? Users will have to bypass the occasional special offer and look on sponsored screensavers from the likes of Buick, Olay and Visa when their devices are idle.
Amazon assures us that the screensavers are “attractive,” and is even trying to give consumers some power by letting them vote on the screensavers they would like to appear on their devices.
The Kindle With Special Offers is now available for pre-order in the U.S. and will ship on May 3.
Are you interested in the new Kindle, or would you rather pony up an extra $25 for the ad-free version?
