Basic Kindle e-book reader on sale for $49

If you’ve been thinking about buying yourself a Kindle e-book reader, today might be the day to pull the trigger on it.  Amazon has them on sale right now for $49 for the smallest, lightest, most basic version.  (There’s a note up on Amazon that says that the deal is good as long as supplies last.  That suggests to me that there’s a new low-end model coming soon.)

There are also the backlit paperwhite versions and the fancy Kindle Fires (that are really tablets), but many people think the simplest Kindle is the best.  My mum in law likes it because it is so light.

BTW, any purchase you make after following the link above will help support this blog.
