Only $25 cheaper than a regular kindle? Doesn't seem like much of a discount.

Ad supported usually equals free these days.

I agree, it would make more sense to also have discounts on the books.

it seems it does have something like that, at least from what I can understand from techcrunch

> Amazon says it will be pushing “special offers directly on your Kindle”, including things like $10 for a $20 Amazon gift card, and $6 for 6 Audible books.

EDIT: ah, it was at the end of the amazon page actually :)

Give them time to line-up sponsors and continue refining the business model and per-unit costs:
