Thanks to Oprah, Amazon is offering a special discount of $50 on the price of Kindle which can be availed by entering the promotional code “OPRAHWINFREY” in the checkout pipeline on Amazon.com (The offer is valid through Nov 1, 2008).
Oprah praised and proclaimed Kindle through her quoted words- “new favorite gadget”, “life changing”, “the wave of the future” and “most amazing thing” on her show.
Kindle is an electronic reading device that is capable of storing more than 190,000 books, magazines, blogs and newspapers. It allows free of charge wireless access of the same at just the hit of a button. The wireless access uses Whispernet technology to provide anytime-anywhere wireless search, download, and read facility to its users.

The Kindle costs $359 which is $59 more than the current model of Sony Reader PRS-505 ($300) but is $41 less than Sony Reader’s upcoming touchscreen PRS-700 model ($400).
