Feel like pressing your luck?

Is this a sign of things to come? Last week we saw Amazon drop the price of the kindle to $189. Today they acquire Woot! and are offering an exclusive deal for one day. You can pick up the Kindle for $149. If you’re not familiar with how Woot! works, this deal will be good for 24 hours, so you’ve got to move fast.

I’ll be honest, I’m severely tempted. Will prices drop further before Christmas? Will this be the best deal that comes along? The thought of me dropping 50 public domain books on that bad boy and sitting fat and happy in my recliner is oh so tempting.
