Free (or near free) Kindle Before the End of 2011? Current UK Bundle May Point the Way

We saw an interesting Kindle price drop projection by KK.org last month the showed the Kindle would be free by this November if its price followed their linear regression’s trend model.

How Amazon Could Offer Free Kindle Readers (think Amazon Prime)

While it is easy to dismiss this as a inappropriate assumption based a simple linear regression equation, KK also provided a reasonable theory of how Amazon could give the Kindle away: Give it away with a subscription to their pre-paid next day shipping service – Amazon Prime ($80).

paidContent provides an actual example of bundling a Kindle with the sale of another product in the UK.
