Amazon makes eReaders cheaper than ever with the introduction of a $79 ad-supported Kindle. This new edition weighs 170g and is 18 percent smaller than the third-gen Kindle, but there's no touchscreen nor a keyboard. Additionally, the low price is only for the ad-supported version, if you want no ads you'll have to pay $109 for your Kindle.

The previous-generation Kindle has been rebranded to Kindle Keyboard, the WiFi-only version with Special Offers now starts at $99 ($139 without ads) while the 3G edition costs $139 ($189 without ads).
The new latest generation Kindle is for readers who want the lightest, most compact Kindle at an incredible price. The latest generation Kindle features a new design that is 30 percent lighter at just 5.98 ounces, 18 percent smaller, and turns pages 10 percent faster. Kindle is now small and light enough to fit easily in your pocket and carry with you everywhere, yet it still features the same 6-inch, most advanced electronic ink display that reads like real paper, even in bright sunlight.

The new latest generation Kindle is only $79. Kindle is available starting today at www.amazon.com/kindle.
