Amazon.com has cut the price on its Kindle 2 ebook reader from $359 to $299, representing a $60 price cut. Launched back in February, the Kindle 2 is Amazon’s second-generation ebook reader, featuring a 6-inch 800 by 600-pixel eInk display capable of displaying 16 shades of grey and wireless connectivity to Amazon’s Kindle Store via Sprint’s 3G network, so users can buy and download new content while they’re on the go.
Amazon has not changed the pricing on its larger Kindle DX, which was introduced back in May and features a 9.7-inch display and native PDF support. The Kindle DX is currently sold out, but retains its $489 price tag.
