Amazon offers cheaper Kindle e-reader w/ ads

LOS ANGELES

The company's new "Kindle with Special Offers" goes for about $114 -- that's $25 less than its ad-free counterpart, Amazon's Kindle Wi-Fi.

The Kindle's "special offers" and ads will appear on the screensaver and at the bottom of its home screen. Amazon plans to mix ads with daily-deal style discount coupons.

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos says his company is working hard to make Kindle affordable to everyone.
