Amazon has announced its intention to sell a Kindle reader at a lower price, $ 139 (instead of 189). But “cheap” readers will be equipped with an advertising system, which reading lovers who decide to save on the gadget will have to see.
For $ 139, the Kindle 3G will be sold as a result of an agreement between Amazon and AT & T Inc. In general, the display of advertising does not scare all buyers, and some decide to save those same $ 50. It seems that there will be craftsmen who can remove the display of advertising, providing the device with self-made firmware, or creating some software for this purpose.

For Amazon, this is not the first time a device has been sold with a “pre-installed ad” on the Kindle. Apparently, the scheme has justified itself, and now the company repeats its experience, offering new models of readers with embedded advertising. Back in May, Amazon was selling "promotional" Kindle pl 164 US dollars, it is 25 US dollars cheaper than the cost of a standard Kindle 3G.
In addition, in April, the Kindle with Wi-Fi could be bought for $ 114, which is $ 25 cheaper than the usual cost of this model. It is worth recalling that in 2007 Amazon's reading rooms went on sale at a price of $ 399.
I wonder if we will sell any devices under a similar scheme?
