Where is the best place to purchase your Kindle?

When it comes to purchasing electrical goods on the Internet, prices can vary a great deal. We all want to make sure we are paying as little as possible whilst still being sure we are buying from a trusted and reliable source. I know how difficult it can be when researching for the best price of a product because they all promise you the best deal.

That is why I have found where to purchase the Kindle for you. I have done the research and I have looked around for the best price, so you don't have to.

The newly released Kindle 3 can be found advertised online anywhere between $114 and $250 for the non-3G model and $189 and $300 for the 3G model . Some of these sellers you can trust, but others you should stay far away from.

I have noticed recently that the spam in my inbox is filling up with daily “deals” on the Amazon Kindle. Some of these clowns promise a brand new Kindle 3 for $20 or less, something which is obviously a scam.

Think about it this way. Who was the creator of the Kindle? Amazon right? Amazon would obviously like to sell as many Kindle units as possible themselves through thier own site, without having to use other vendors. A good rule of thumb in business is to never discount your core product. Kindle has been the best-selling Amazon product for years and Amazon would like to keep it that way. A Fortune 500 company like Amazon would never allow anyone else to offer a better price on their core product. What this means is that other vendors that would like to sell the Kindle in their physical or online store have to buy it straight from Amazon at retail ($139 or $189), being what you would pay from Amazon. It makes sense then, that these other vendors would have to put a premium on top of the retail price if they are to make any money. Hence why we see online stores other than Amazon selling the Kindle 3 for anything between $5 - $50 extra.

Another thing to keep in mind is that if you decide not to buy from Amazon it can be quite the headache should your Kindle stuff up. You will most likely have to send it back to the warehouse you bought it from, which will send it to Amazon to be repaired or replaced. Amazon will then send it back to the warehouse who will forward it to you. This process will take a while, trust me. Dealing directly with Amazon is much easier as you are able to skip a few of these steps.

At the end of the day it is quite simple. If you want to get a Kindle, get it straight from Amazon. Not only will you get the best price, but you will be dealing directly with the manufacturer should anything go wrong.

Re: I'm Published On Kindle! - David this is really so exciting I will check out the links you have in this thread to see how it all works. At this stage I still don't own a Kindle ( the shipping to get it to South Africa is just so expensive) so am planning on ordering one when one of my family members who live in Chicago comes out for a visit. That way it will just cost me the price of the Kindle. But you are doing some great things just keep it up. MichelleJ
Kindle, Ebooks, publishers and authors - There's been a lot of talk about Kindle recently on some other message boards I frequent (Pub-Forum to name one), and it seems to vary between outrage and appreciation. The Kindle ebook reader is apparently great, but the titles available are annoying. Also, apparently Google is going around digitizing books, regardless of whether or not they're out of copyright. Authors, publishers... anything to say about the trend to market your hard work on the internet for free?
Re: Are you getting an iPad 2? - Wow I didnlt realize iPad was capable of doing so many things. I have been thinking about the Kindle mostly as a way to download books and things that I want to read as I can have it all in one place but this seems able to do so much more. MichelleJ
10 best franchises to get involved - It would be unwise to look to purchase any small business for $15k, plus a SBA loan. It would be the height of folly to purchase a franchise in those conditions. You are 26 years old, figure out what you have to do to employ your own crew of cable installers.
Re: Books for Women Entrepreneurs - Thank you so much. I think I should see if I can buy some of these on my Kindle. I didn't even think to read a book on entrepreneurs, which is crazy because I would love to know more. That's a wonderful idea. I'm sure there are some nice tips in there.
