Amazon Drops Prices On Kindle Fire, Kicks Off Cyber Monday

Amazon.com said last night that it is dropping the price on its Kindle Fire products, as part of a CYber Monday promotion. Amazon said it is offering up the Kindle Fire HD 16 GB for $119, a big discount from its normal $169 price, and will offer up the Kindle Fire HDX 7" for $179, 20 percent off its usual price of $229. The big discounts are part of a shopping frenzy for Amazon, which has been one of the major beneficiaries of "Cyber Monday"--the first day back from the Thanksgiving holiday. Cyber Monday has traditionally been the biggest, online shopping day of the year, as people get back to high speed connections at their work. Amazon has a long list of Cyber Monday deals, saying that it will be constantly dropping prices and offering up new deals throughout the day today.
