Amazon today showed off three new versions of its e-ink digital book reader Kindle.

The company unveiled the Kindle Touch for $99. It also showed off a 3G version, which will sell for $149. A cheaper and smaller non-touch control Kindle will sell for $79.

The lower price points represent an aggressive push by Amazon to further its lead in the e-reader market as other entrants such as Barnes & Noble's Nook pose a growing threat.

The Kindle Touch is thinner, smaller and lighter. It features no physical controls, allowing the user to use their left hand to navigate through a digital book.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos touted the new price points, saying Amazon is "making premium products at non-premium prices."

Amazon is expected to unveil the Kindle Fire tablet later during the conference.

looks ok. Honestly... its what works for you. 199 for a tablet is damn good. If all you do is read PDF's and watch videos... why buy an iPad?

Unless you are using all of the productivity apps on an iPad... you are better off saving your money.

I eh saying buy this... its just simply what works for you...

I was reading up some specs on this and was wondering if one wanted to use MS Office docs, you'd have to access them through Google docs on the Silk browser not so?

That is probably the only drawback for me really.

[M_2NR]

I'd wait until some proper reviews AT LEAST hit online to say anything. It's best to actually use before buying but... that's not really possible for us.
For instance the Acrobat Reader on the HP Touchpad has ZERO scaling so zooming in will just look blurred a bit. I didnt read that anywhere...
only using it makes you see these things.

[Trini Hookah]

Really considering that Dell Tab here yes, price not bad at all :/
