Kindle as low as $79 Shipped!

Amazon is announcing new Kindles and new prices today. Here are the options you can get- shipping is free on each of these items:

Kindles- this is the starter Kindle and if you get it with special offers* the price is just $79! Without special offers is $109.
Kindle Touch- this is a new touch version that comes out 11/21.  The price on the Kindle Touch with special offers is $99 and without special offers is $139.  You can preorder now for delivery on the 21st.
Kindle Touch 3G- With special offers is $149 or without is $189.  These also ship on 11/21 and you can preorder now.
Kindle Fire- This one looks super cool --  It is full color and touch screen.  This will come out on 11/15 and you can preorder.

There is a chance Amazon will raise prices so if you have your eye on these it might not be a bad idea to order now.  I believe you can always cancel the order if you change your mind before it ships and get a refund.

*If you are not familiar with “special offer” devices, it is a cheaper version of the Kindle and the reason is they have commercials on the device.
These have “sponsored screensavers” (aka commericals) that come up when you are not reading on your device. 
The screensavers are not supposed to be intrusive to your reading at all and apparently it also comes with special offers. The offers can be anything from coupons to online coupon codes etc…  
I was very skeptical about these sponsored offers and originally I thought they sounded annoying.  I have changed my mind though as I keep hearing that people are getting amazing coupon codes from Amazon as their special offer (Like $25 off a $50 purchase or $10 off a $10 purchase) so if I buy a Kindle for myself I would probably get the sponsored kind.
