Ad-free Kindles cost more

Matthew Panzarino, writing at The Next Web:

What Amazon was a bit more coy about, however, is that they were using all of the best pricing to introduce these devices at its event today, and that pricing was all given ‘with special offers’. That means that the screensavers on the devices will be delivering ads to you when they are not in use.

The $199 price announced for the Kindle Fire is accurate, but an ad-free version of any other Kindle will cost you $30 - $50 more than the base price, depending on which model you choose.

Amazon: working hard to charge customers less.
