Kindle Prices: How to Find the Best Deal Online

The Kindle is arguably the most favorite e-reader on the shop today. It's no surprise then that so many citizen want to buy one and, of course, everybody wants to save a minute money in the process.

The capability to read books, magazines, newspapers and now blogs (with the most recent 3G edition) provides so much convenience for so many that the prices on this e-reader don't necessarily need to be discounted in order for it to sell. The Kindle verily sells itself and, even at full retail, can be carefully a bargain. Downloadable book titles cost about half of what you would pay for them hardcover in a bookstore, so you are verily salvage money just by using an e-reader rather than buying traditional books.

That being said, the price on a new Kindle can still be a stretch for some, if not most, citizen who would like to purchase one for themselves or as a gift. If you are searching online for the best deal, keep the following points in mind.

Consider Used or Refurbished: Check an online auction site such as eBay for previously owned Kindles. While this may seem a bit risky, there are so many safeguards in place now for these sites (especially eBay, where sellers receive feedback that is important for time to come sales) that the risk is minimal and the savings may make it worthwhile. Refurbished is preferable over used as you may also get a warranty with a refurbished unit.

Search for Coupons or allowance Codes: Using a coupon, no matter how small, toward your purchase can help. If you verily would rather buy brand-new, this is the way to go. You may need to apply for a prestige card or sign up for something in order to get the deal being offered, so just be aware of what you're getting into and be sure that it's worth the allowance being offered in return. Also, free shipping counts as a good money-saving deal with your purchase (going to a sell store in person would cost in time and gas money).

Track Online Specials and Deals: From time to time, online retailers such as Amazon will offer extra deals and discounts. Find a blog or other website that is dedicated specifically to providing up-to-date data on specials for e-readers. Visit the site often to find the best deals online all in one place and plan your purchase accordingly.

Sony Reader Touch Edition Vs Kindle 2 - And the Winner Is?

Sony and Amazon have 2 of the best quality ebook readers on the market today with the Sony Reader Touch Edition and the Amazon Kindle 2. Both are comparable in price, so it makes sense to assess the two and see who wins in a battle of the cool features. Here's a full comparison.

Screen Display: Both the Sony Touch Edition and Kindle 2 have the "E-Ink" technology in their reading screens. This technology is all about anti-reflective properties and crystal clear text. You can read the text from greatest angles and in natural sunlight easier than pixel technology. Both models can increase the size of text easily.

Navigation of Pages: The Sony Reader Touch Edition is obviously a touch screen. So navigation of menus, pages and other actions is by touching the screen. Kindle 2 employs push button technology on the sides of the screen.

Most people's first impression is that the touch screen is a better, more cutting edge technology. Is the touch screen standard for an ebook reader, though? You are after all keeping the reader in different positions for hours on end. You turn the page by sliding your finger or thumb across the page, which could get annoying for fidgety readers.

Colors: The Sony Reader comes in 3 different colors while the Kindle 2 only comes in the basic white.

Battery Life: Both the Kindle 2 and the Reader Touch have very long battery lives. The E-Ink technologies draw very microscopic power and you can still be turning pages on one charge up to 2 weeks later.

Wireless Capabilities: This is one of the big two differences between the Kindle 2 and the Touch Edition. The Kindle 2 has "WhisperNet" technology which allows for wireless navigation of the internet on the Kindle. You'll need to hook up to a computer to download some new titles on the Sony Touch.

International Coverage: The Kindle 2 has wireless capabilities and 3G cellular aid in over 100 countries. This means you can download more titles from on the go wherever there is internet, and if no internet is available, then you can use the 3G service.

The Sony Reader Touch doesn't allow for wireless or 3G entrance to download new titles or other publications.

So who's the winner? It is very close between the two devices, but the Sony Reader Touch Edition needs to catch up with just a few features that are lacking compared to the Kindle 2. The Amazon Kindle 2 has wireless capabilities and international coverage. The Kindle 2 is slightly cheaper, 9 vs. 0 for the Reader. The Kindle also has the "text-to-speech" highlight so you can switch to listening to a book while in the car.
