My Kindle was only $79. It doesn't have internet (Jeanie I'm jealous, I would love to have the new Fire but I'd spend more time "surfing" and playing games than reading or sleeping). We have soooooo many books in our house, even had more shelves built, donate them to Humane Society Thrift Store, give them away. They're like zucchinis--they multiply all by themselves. That's why we both have Kindles now and the only thing on the coffee table is dust.
