New Kindle Touch 3G available for $149 at select AT&T Retail Stores; The Perfect Gift for Reading Enthusiasts this Holiday Season
DALLAS, Nov. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- With more than one million books available in the Kindle Store, the Kindle Touch 3G is perfect for the bookworm on your list. Beginning next week, AT&T* will sell Amazon's Kindle Touch 3G in select AT&T company-owned retail stores nationwide for $149.
Kindle Touch is a new addition to the Kindle family with an easy-to-use touch screen that makes it easier than ever to turn pages, search, shop, and take notes - still with all the benefits of the most advanced electronic ink display.

"With the largest selection of today's hottest books, customers will find the perfect book they're looking for this year on the new Kindle Touch."
