Well, Amazon continues to stay competitive by releasing refurbished kindle deals with a $399 refurbished Kindle Dx. But will a refurbished Kindle Dx that is $90 cheaper make a difference? This is not an easy question, but after the refurbished Kindle 1 and 2 release, a Kindle Dx version or a Kindle Dx coupon code was definitely expected. 90 bucks may not be enough of a price incentive, but it is about 20% cheaper, which is significant given our current economic state. Amazon intenton with the refurbished Kindle Dx looks to be less of a price-cut and more of a counter move to Sony Readers. The $399 price point is a way to match the price of the soon to be released Sony Daily Edition.

If you look at the recent releases of refurbished Kindles, the prices match up very well with Sony’s new releases: Refurbished Kindle 1 for $149 and Refurbished Kindle 2 for $219 compete with Sony’s $199 Pocket Edition. Kindle 2.0 competes with Sony Touch Edition at $299. Refurbished Kindle Dx at $399 competes with the Sony Daily Edition at $399 which arrives in December this year. Sony tried to do a run-around the Kindle with price and Amazon responded with strength.

  1. Bigger Screen – 9.7 in is larger than 7 in
  2. WhisperNet gives you Free Internet (US only)
