This is pretty ironic – Amazon has $100 off savings on ‘select’ Audible Ready Devices and they’ve excluded the Amazon Kindle Reader. If you sign up for a 12 month Audible membership (at $14.95 a month) they give you $100 off. It’s going to make sense for a lot of people who’re buying a mp3 player or gps for Christmas 2008, and wouldn’t mind trying out Audible for a year. The devices included are -
- iPod Nano 8 GB (4th generation).
- iPod Classic (6th Generation).
- Garmin NuVi 780 – 4.5 inch screen, bluetooth GPS.
- Zune 16 GB Black.
- Garmin NuVi 500 – 3.5 inch screen GPS.
- Apple iPod Nano 16 GB.
- Apple IPod Touch.
- Garmin NuVi 775T GPS.
- Garmin NuVi 760
- Garmin NuVi 5000 Travel Assistant.
- iPod Shuffle 1 GB.
- Creative Zen 8 GB.
- Zune 120 GB Video Mp3 Player.
They have an interesting ‘which is selling more’ meter which shows that mp3 players are selling marginally more than gps devices (although Garmin 760 and 350 have the top spot).
It’s strange that they wouldn’t include the Kindle.
