$100 Kindle Coupon Available From Amazon And Audible.com, Expires January 2010

kindle 2 and lots of diet dr pepper lol

Please note: You must FIRST sign-up for an Audible.com plan through Amazon (link is below) and then purchase your Kindle. Do NOT do it the other way around or you might not get the Kindle discount code.

Are you an audio book listener? How about a Kindle coupon seeker? Well let me tell you about a new Kindle discount that is now available.

You can potentially save $100 off a brand new Kindle 2 if you sign-up for an Audible.com GOLD membership. This is a hot-off-the-presses discount code available to new members of Audible.com – essentially the offer is as follows:

(directly quoted from Amazon.com)

Save $100 on any of these AudibleReady® products when you agree to join Audible.com’s AudibleListener® Gold plan for 12 months at $14.95/month. If the product or accessory that you choose is less than $100, you will receive the product for free.

You cannot cancel membership for 12 months or else you must return the Kindle device.

You can use the $100 Kindle discount code towards a Kindle 2, a Kindle DX or Kindle accessories such as cases and covers. Effectively bringing down the cost as follows:

Kindle 2 $259 – $159

Kindle DX – $489 – $389

That is a pretty substantial savings and is truly a good deal if you’re a regular audio book listener. With the Audible.com GOLD membership you get to choose one free audio book a month and save 10% on additional monthly audio books.

How To Get The $100 Kindle Discount Code?

  1. You must go to Amazon.com and click through to Audible.com from their device page, which is noted below.
  2. Sign-up for the monthly $14.95 Audible.com GOLD plan
  3. Audible.com will send you a $100 coupon code via email which you can use towards the purchase of a brand new Kindle 2, Kindle DX or Kindle accessories.
  4. You must purchase your Kindle device from the Amazon.com website
  5. Keep your Audible.com GOLD membership plan for at least 12 months, then you can cancel it. (if you wish)

1.2 Million Digital Readers Will Be Sold In The U.S. In Fourth Quarter

kindle top christmas gift in 2009

That is the number quoted in a recent study from Forrester Research.

Another huge number quoted in the study is that digital book readers are the number one sought after personal electronic gadget this Christmas season, coming ahead of game consoles and mp3 players.

The convenience factor is my guess as to why they’re so popular in general, but I think PRICE is the reason they’re going to sell like hotcakes this Christmas 2009 holiday season. With Amazon slashing the price of the Kindle Wireless to $259 just last week, and another price drop expected closer to December the digital reader as we know it, is getting closer to going mainstream.

Everyone from industry analysts to retail executives are claiming that the Amazon Kindle will take the lions share of the market, followed closely by the Sony digital reader.

Make no mistake about it, these are the top digital book readers to watch at the end of 2009.
