Comments on: Used Kindles going for as little as $250—and refurbed Sony PRS-505s for just $200 http://www.teleread.com/drm/used-kindles-going-for-as-little-as-250/ News & views on e-books, libraries, publishing and related topics Tue, 14 Feb 2012 21:55:20 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Cat Faber http://www.teleread.com/drm/used-kindles-going-for-as-little-as-250/comment-page-1/#comment-1015284 Cat Faber Thu, 26 Feb 2009 03:09:25 +0000 http://www.teleread.org/2009/02/14/used-kindles-going-for-as-little-as-250/#comment-1015284 Ennh. DeCoster doesn't actually know that much about the Kindle if she thinks you can't surf the web on it. Plus she's comparing the price of a Kindle *with* web access to a netbook *without* web access. Once she pays for whichever form of wireless connection she's going to use with that netbook, it will be a lot more money, I think. Mind you, netbooks can do things Kindles just can't. If color pictures or watching movies is important to you, a Kindle is not your gadget. Ennh. DeCoster doesn’t actually know that much about the Kindle if she thinks you can’t surf the web on it.
