Older Kindle Model $89 on Black Friday

[robertgp124]

We have both a Kindle 2 and a Kindle 3 (and Nook for that matter - so call us crazy ).

I've read on both the K2 and K3. I do believe the contrast is a little better on the K3, and the slightly smaller form factor (still the same screen size) and revamped keyboard/controller is slightly nicer. I'm not wild about the smaller page turn keys on the K3, but they just take some getting used to.

Regardless of the version of the Kindle 2 on sale, I'd say it's a good deal. Unless you need the wifi that the Kindle 3 offers, I would not hesitate to pull the trigger and get a Kindle 2.

Well I didn't get one. It's not like I hesitated.

Me neither, Kathy! I sat here waiting to pounce for 10 minutes leading up to the time.

I joined the "waitlist", but I don't think that's gonna do anything for me...

I was never able to click on the waitlist. I had that window open ready to go as soon as it changed.

I guess I got lucky then - I did get one, but my computer clock is a couple minutes slow, and I had a bunch of windows open and just happened to flip back at 8:58 to see that it said deal available..
