The Amazon Kindle Fire can now be purchased with $30 coupons (local deal), which represent a 15% discount over the full $199 price of the device. This is not really a fire sale, but from what analyst firm IDC is reporting, the shipments of the Kindle Fire went from 4.8M to 0.7M from Q4 2011 to Q1 2012. This means that the Kindle Fire may need a boost. Of course, a slowdown from Q4 to Q1 is rather normal to some extent, but given that Google is going to come up with a Tegra 3 powered device, called Nexus 7,  for just about the same $199 price, Amazon will clearly have to adapt its pricing.
Ubergizmo, Amazon Discounting Kindle Fire Ahead of The Nexus Tablet?
