Apple and Amazon Launch Black Friday Price War

Posted by timothy on from the you-can-win-the-race-to-the-bottom dept.

An anonymous reader writes Forbes magazine points out that tablet computers are receiving some of the biggest discounts for this year's day-after-Thanksgiving sales. "With slowing growth in the tablet market and an increasing array of choices, some of the strongest bargains will come in that sector," they report, noting that Target is giving away a $140 gift card with purcahses of an iPad Air 2 (and a $100 gift card with the iPad Mini or first-generation iPad Air). But Amazon has already launched a counter-strike, posting big discounts online on Thanksgiving day for their entire line of Kindles, including a black-and-white Kindle for just $49, and their 6-inch color/high-definition HD6 for just $79.

  1. All the Kindles are on sale... by 93+Escort+Wagon · · Score: 3, Informative

    For sufficiently loose definitions of "all".

    The Kindle Voyage does not appear to be included in this sale, which is a shame.
