Imminent price drop for the Kindle reading light? - CNETFrance

After Germany last June, it is now Italy, which sees the price of the entry-level Kindle model down. A signal which certainly indicates a decrease in imminent price too.

If last June, when the reading light input range of Kindle was increased from 79 to 69 €, one could think of a price drop isolated, the fact that Italy also changes its price sets the tone. arrival of the new range of reading light is coming and by then prices will fall in the different European countries

In Germany, the price drop could be interpreted as a reaction to the success of the reading light Tolino Shine . It must be said that € 99, ??it is appealing against the € 129 of Paperwhite and Amazon had to react. So it seems that the decline in German price has just been initiated earlier, when she was clearly less urgent elsewhere.

Italy has been the second country affected by this reduction, certainly before Spain and France among others. For now, the price remains the same at home, but the price drop could happen at any moment.

The new range of Kindle is awaited with interest by all observers, because Amazon has always been able, generation after generation of e-readers and tablets, to surprise and make life difficult its competitors, especially with price cuts regular and important.

If any leaks are already producing tracks on the shelves, which could be equipped with a Snapdragon processor 800 and an important resolution, and be generally at the new Nexus 7, we know nothing of what might be proposed in the next Kindle e-readers. We refer of course to upgrade the screen to the base model, but difficult to know what Amazon prepares else.

be remembered still Liquavista Amazon bought in May, and we can expect a few time reading lights fitted a new screen technology (left).

But unless Liquavista and Amazon did secretly working together, the time seems too short for this type of color technology is already available.

So Amazon will he seek to expand its range as did Kobo or instead stay focused on two models? Will he play the card of the reading light less than 50 € for a basic model? Mystery for now.

The decline in prices of Kindle entry level indicates any case a replacement for this model is ready to make its appearance soon.
