Kindle 3G gets ad-supported $164 version, sells your eyeballs for a $25 discount
It’s been one heck of a week for e-readers, with a new 9 touchscreen Nook in town and a 9 finger-friendly Kobo as well. What’s Amazon going to do about the newfound competition?

Well, perhaps “lower” isn’t quite the right word, because you’ll simply be paying by different means: the new Kindle 3G with Special Offers will be the company’s second e-reader to feature built-in advertising.
