Here’s something quite revolutionary in electronics products, especially those that are in the slightly cheaper category. Amazon has officially announced a new version of Kindle. This new Kindle will have ad-support, which means you’ll be asked to endure “advertisements on the bottom of the device’s home page and on its screen savers.”

But for what? Well, this will save about $25 on the Kindle’s price! This will set a new pace for ad-discounted tablets, netbooks, PMPs, and who knows what else. Get ready for a new type of invasion guys.

At this point, Buick, Olay and Visa will be advertising, and we get the impression that said list will bloom in due time. It’s hard to say just how intrusive they’ll be, but Kindle director Jay Marine seems to think that “customers are going to love it.”

At any rate, a demo of the new device displayed a screen saver deal “where customers would pay $10 for a $20 gift card to Amazon,” and while no ads will appear in e-books, there’s still “a clear advertisement” along the bottom of the home screen.

So, will you take these cheaper Kindles? For me, I’d rather head over to the ‘Garage Sales’ and sniff around.
