Somewhat predictably, Amazon has answered the challenge from Barnes and Noble’s Nook Simple Touch Reader ($139 USD) and Kobo’s eReader Touch Edition ($129.99 USD) with the release of their Amazon Kindle 3G with Special Offers for only $164 USD.
Basically, Amazon’s offering their Kindle 3G (usually priced at $189 USD) for $25 less, but subsidized by on-screen ads. Engadget has more on the story.
Now, what’s Apple iPad got to say about all of this competition?

Wow… it sounds to me like Amazon is really on their heels right now, reeling, and that BN has all the momentum, unless Amazon has something up their sleeve. I don’t have an ereader yet, I’ve been ‘watching from the sidelines’ waiting patiently, and I’d been favoring the Kindle3, but right now I’m waiting to try out the new Nook when it comes out.
