Amazon's Kindle is on sale for $55 with three months of Kindle Unlimited

If you missed Amazon's standard e-reader when it was on sale for $50 on Black Friday, you have another shot to grab it for less. The regular Kindle is back on sale for $55, and you'll get three months of Kindle Unlimited along with it.

It would make a good stocking stuffer for the book-lover in your life, or a convenient gadget if you plan on trying to read more in the new... Continue reading at 'Engadget'
