Kindle 2
It’s true that the Amazon Kindle 2 is not for everyone. Even at a reduced price of $259 from it’s original tag of $359 barely 5 months into its launch, it was still too steep for some. So what have they done now? They raised the bar and lowered the price. Yes, this gadget extraordinaire is now available for a mere $189. That just shoots its value right through the roof. No further pondering its dollars and sense already- it’s practically a gift!
There’s a price for everything and there’s a thing for every price. This one’s a no-brainer. To stay atop, the trailblazing industry leader is now banking on volume. For those who were not bought on price before, this is an offer you can’t refuse. The world of eBook reading devices belongs to a handful few and Kindle is not only kingpin but also most affordable.
Strictly based on cost without considering other plus points like convenience and performance, the Kindle 2, more than ever now, is the way to go. From a quantitative standpoint, it’s not difficult to understand the take. eBooks are digital so they are inherently less expensive. Indeed, a paperback costs generally around $5 more than its e-counterpart by Amazon. Over 40 books or so, the savings on its contents just pay for the gadget itself. Voracious readers will put away that kind of number in a real jiffy.
What about those times when you miscued on the purchase of a book? That won’t happen if you utilize the free sampling available through the Amazon Kindle. You taste a book for 30 pages before placing the order. If you still can’t be sure, accept your fate. How much money worth of wrong books does the average reader purchase in a year? $30 or more seems like a good bet. That’s like a good 20% of the current Kindle 2 price tag.
Good sense is more subjective but they are definitely well-founded in the case of Kindle. For example, how much is the convenience of wireless service and direct download worth to you? The savings on gasoline, time and effort add up over time. Also, the PC for downloading media is entirely redundant to the Kindle. In fact, this ebook reader can double as a PC to some degree. And there are the 1500 books you can carry around with you weighing only 10 oz. with another 600,000 in waiting at your fingertips.
Last but not least, the cost on the environment by trees for paper is hard to measure but easy to see. This is moral and it’s not just for book readers, this one’s for all.
Convinced? You must be, let your wisdom go to work today, please.
