Kindle 3G With Special Offers: Cutting Costs on a Kindle for a Tween

Ereaders are great  gift options for middle schoolers, but as parents, it's always disconcerting that tech gifts for kids are so pricey.  Kindle has made both it's wi-fi, and 3G versions a little more economical with special offers options.  In both cases, $25 has been cut from the price of the normal selection, through sponsored screen savers and other special offers.


 Kindle wi-fi requires a wifi connection to download new content, and to use the web capabilities of the Kindle ereading device.  Kindle 3G provides a free 3G connection, with no contracts or monthly fees.  The ability to vote on screensavers through a Kindle App, Admash, makes it possible to impact the sponsored content.
