http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/09/amazonevent0083-1346954535.jpg We’re just kicking off Amazon’s Kindle-themed press event today and it seems the company is starting off at the lower end: the company just announced that the $79 Kindle](Amazon reveals $79 Kindle, ships today!) we’ve been recommending is now going to be the $69 Kindle. Now, CEO Jeff Bezos only briefly mentioned the device in his keynote, and didn’t clarify whether there are any cosmetic changes over last year’s model (we’re guessing not). Bezos *did *say, however, that the new Kindle will have new fonts, sharper text and 15 percent faster page turns. If you want to avail yourself of that ten-dollar savings, no need to wait: it’s up for pre-order today, and will ship next week, on September 14th.Gallery: Amazon announces $69 Kindle
