The Kindle 2 keeps having its price tag slashed this year, and Amazon has done it again in preparation for the holidays and to keep up with the competition. The company has also begun offering a global wireless feature, allowing users to buy e-books in more than 100 countries.
The smaller of the company's two e-book readers now retails for just $259, down from $299 in July and $359 before that, and is available now. (The larger Kindle DX remains at $489.)
