Ad-supported Kindle to ship May 3rd

Given the $10-13 price point for most Kindle books, I'm honestly surprised Amazon isn't giving the device away to customers who already spend more than $100 / year and don't have one.

Oh, they will. Wasn't there a projection about this here recently?

Unless you can force folks to buy a minimum number of books, giving it away for free would just be too ripe for abuse. Giving it away at slightly below cost would make sense (and they might already be doing that, essentially.)

Something like a free kindle to all new Prime subscribers?
