>The one I have is the wifi Kindle II about $120 here but I know that they are also now selling a wifi for about $80. There is a new version. In any case a bargain. I read someplace they are going to lose about $20 on every $199 Kindle Fire. Glad to see there is still some smarts in American business. The pre-orders (which include mine ) are through the roof.

You may be surprised to hear that one of them is mine. A month or so ago I bought two iPads, one for me and one to give my girlfriend for her birthday. I liked it just fine but decided it was not a good time for extravagance. $199 doesn't seem nearly so extravagant with money rolling in (although I have remained financially prudent in general).
