Amazon made its biggest cut yet in the Kindle lineup, bringing the six-inch, second-generation Kindle to $299 with free shipping. Since I’ve only owned my Kindle 1 for a year I’ve held off on buying a Kindle 2; it really doesn’t offer anything of interest over and above the Kindle 1 that justifies the cost. I think I’ll wait for the hefty price of $489 to drop on the Kindle DX which has a 9.7 inch screen.
