is it only available on amazon.com? or can it be purchased in certain stores?

You can get it at Best Buy too.

is that the really big one??? i got my kindle (with wi fi and 3g) at target. Best buy here only had the nook.

no just the small one. i looked at target & best buy, they are all sold out :(

I just ordered mine from amazon.com as it seemed easier than looking around for it - but I hope you can get it, I love it! (the kindle 3g)

I got my moms at target.

I soooooo want one of these! With wifi and 3G preferred. How much do they cost?

The one with 3G and wifi is $189

i got mine at target for 189. but i also got a cover (without the light) a 2 year replacement plan and a screen protector. Which brought it up to about 250. And it doesnt come with a wire to hook it to your computer to transfer books bought (or DLed) on your computer, so you'll need to perchase one of those as well.

The one I ordered from Amazon came with the USB cord...
