The UK Basic Kindle e-Ink Reader is reduced by 10 GBP as of today.
This isn't the model I'd personally choose, as it has no QWERTY-style keyboard and is not a touch-based device. Because I do searches in books and of the entire Kindle and like to make notes when reading, I prefer a normal touch keyboard. Others looking, though, for just an ultra light e-Ink reader for reading, which has pageturn buttons and a no-fuss interface at a very good price, will find this an attractive reader. Typing is done with a button navigator to choose letters from an alphabetical layout (like the ones used with remote controls).
The Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9" model (Year 2012, U.S.) is $229 again, down from $269.
This is the model from last year, which has a built-in HDMI-out for direct connection of the tablet to an HDTV. Here's a blog article on that feature.
It's not as fast as the current model and doesn't have the Mayday feature.
This is just a quick blog entry for those interested in the recent price drops on those two models.
I've updated the full global Kindle listing as of January 30, 2014 (prices change though, as we've seen).

NOTE: TO AVOID SPAM being posted instantly, this blog uses the blogger.com "DELAY" feature.
Am often away much of the day, and postings won't show up right away. Posts done to use referrer-links may never show up.
Usually, am online enough to release comments within a day though, so the hard-to-read match-text tests for commenting won't be needed this way.
Feedback and questions are welcome. Thanks for participating.
Technical Problems?
If you're having problems leaving a Comment, Google's blogger-help asks that you clear the 'blogger.com' cookies on your browser's Tools or Options menu bar and that will fix the Comment-box problems (until they have a permanent fix).
IF that doesn't work either, then UNcheck the "keep me signed in" box -- Google-help says that should allow your comment to post (it's a workaround to a current bug).
Apologies for the problems.
TIP: There's a size limit. If longer than 3500 characters or so, in a text editor, make two posts out of it.
