I saw in yesterday's Best Buy ad that they had the Kindle "Keyboard" 3G (w/ads) for $89. While I did not like the idea of the ads, I went and bought one tonight. After some BB rewards certificates, I spent $76. Not bad, since I spent $189 for it the last time. And I have a working Kindle again. The boy will not be using it. If my wife wants to let him use HERS fine, but he lost the privilege of using mine 
Wow! that's a good price for the 3G! Perhaps I should return mine - I paid full price! 
The ads are not as bad as I thought they would be. I can definitly live with them.
They don't bother me at all. In fact, I found some of them useful.

Yeah, it was a great price! I don't like the ads, but like you, I can live with them. If you bought yours at Best Buy, maybe they will give you the price break.
Ah, it was a best buy sale...
Considering I already OWNED one of these, I was just pleased to get one for cheap. I did look at the new $79 Kindle, the onscreen keyboard wasn't bad, but I wanted 3G.
Just picked up a Kindle Keyboard 3G ($89) at Best Buy: will have to return the other one back to Amazon.
I wish Amazon could simply match the price, but it won't.
$89 is a great price for the last Kindle that has free browsing over 3G!

Good for you. I don't like the ads, but once you are reading they aren't there. But for $89, I will put up with it.
I realized that you can "unsubscribe" from special offers, and just pay the $50 difference to get the non-ad supported Kindle 3G; which after the Best Buy sale price, means it ends up costing $139 for the Kindle Keyboard 3G.
Not quite sure I will do this, but maybe. Tempted, I will say that.
I did decided, however to run over and get another Kindle for $89 for my kid. Was going to get him the $79 one, but for $10 more his can have 3G. Just need to get him a near destructible case for it.

I will say I do like the graphite casing, it seems to make the text jump out on the screen much more clearly than the white case. Not sure why, but it does.
PLEASE LOG IN TO GET RID OF THESE ADS!
I too prefer the graphite casing. Looks good in the leather cover! 
As for kids, I am not sure anyone will really need 3G. It's mostly for international trips.
I think most will prefer Touch, or even Fire - games and videos look pretty cool on it!

I actually just had decided to get him the $79 Kindle wi-fi. No need for 3G, and since buy buying it at Amazon, no tax or shipping, so I will save $20.
Still tempted to hit the UNSUBSCRIBE button on my Kindle 3G, price would end up $126 for me. We'll see.
I used to use the 3G pretty regularly, but I agree, it is not essential.
ALSO - my new Kindle did not come with the newest software, had to do the update to 3.3 this morning.
