Yesterday we said that Amazon was on fire in reference to their latest tablet, the Kindle Fire. What we failed to mention is that Amazon is really on fire having launched not just a new tablet, but also two versions of the new Kindle Touch as well as the cheapest Kindle ever, all at the same day.The two Kindle Touch models are virtually the same except featuring a touchscreen 6-inch EInk display that supports multi-touch. They also both support text-to-speech, audio books, and music (mp3s), have built-in Wi-Fi, offer free cloud backup, and makes use of the Whispersync technology. Their only notable difference is that one version has a built-in free 3G wireless as well, making it the slightest bit heavier at 7.8oz (compared to 7.5oz). Of course, they also differ in price with the non-3G version available for pre-order in the US at $99 (£63) and the Kindle Touch 3G version priced at $149 (£96). Both versions will be start shipping out on November 21.
Amazon also released the cheapest, and lightest (less than 6oz), Kindle model to date. While its display is not a touchscreen, its $79 (£50) price tag makes it really attractive. The problem though is that this e-book reader version will not see the light of UK since what made the pricing possible are the adverts that come with it. Since this is not allowed here in the UK, then we can expect this version not to hit our shores, or if it does, it will definitely be minus the ads and plus a big increase on the price tag.
