Amazon to offer the Kindle 2 for $89?

It seems that Amazon will offer the Kindle 2 for only $89 on Black Friday... We couldn't find official word yet, but that's the talk on the Kindle fan page on Amazon. The Kindle 2 is still a great e-reader with a 6" E Ink display, 3G wireless and 2GB of memory. Here's the offical page over at Amazon, although it doesn't list the deal yet.

In related news, Amazon says that yesterday was the biggest sales day ever for Kindle devices. Seems that the iPad and other tablets are not hurting e-reader sales after all, at least for now.

If you want the newer Kindle 3 which has a better E Ink display and 4GB of memory, then you can buy if for only $139 (Wi-Fi) or $189 (3G and Wi-Fi).
