Amazon just slased the price of the Kindle, so you can find the best price here:

I won’t suggest Kindle 1 as they are used ones and the price is only a small difference from the new Kindle 2, as you can see here:

So go for the new Kindle 2, it is already $60 cheaper than the price that I bought it.
