Amazon’s put up refurbished Kindles on its site from time to time, and it would appear that Big W has invested heavily, given that it’s offering up refurb Kindle Keyboard models for $99 outright for online purchase. The Kindle’s still the eBook reader to beat, and this is a solid $60 saving. [Big W via TopBargains]

Monday, November 28, 2011 at 12:28 PMIt should be noted that the “Kindle Keyboard” is the “Kindle 3″. It’s clear to see why you would call the Kindle 3 the Kindle with the keyboard but it does get a bit confusing for people who already owned the Kindle 3 or people looking to buy the best, non-touch Kindle..

Monday, November 28, 2011 at 12:30 PMFor example, when I went to find out if there was a new patch available, suddenly people were talking about the Kindle Keyboard and no more mention of the Kindle 3.. and it took a while to realise that it was actually the Kindle 3 with a new name by Amazon.

Monday, November 28, 2011 at 12:33 PMI scored one for that price from the excess stock Dick Smith was selling off through Grays Online auction house a few weeks ago. It craps all over my Kobo! It’s just a shame artificial divides still exist in publishing so that not everything is available for us to buy yet.

Monday, November 28, 2011 at 4:53 PMThe Kindle 2011 is inferior to this, with less specs in almost every department and no hard page-turning buttons.
The Kindle Touch is on a par or superior to this, but does not ship internationally.
