Amazon has now announced a special promotion for those users who still have some last minute Christmas shopping to attend to, and is now offering free 2-day shipping for their Kindle eReaders and the Kindle Fire tablet.

The offer is available for those customers who place their order by 8 pm PT on December 21, and the company guarantees that the products will arrive in time for Christmas.

All the Kindle devices offered by Amazon are included starting with the plain $79 Kindle, the $99 Kindle Touch, its $149 older brother with 3G connectivity, as well as the $199 Kindle Fire 7-inch tablet.

"The new Kindles are hands down the best gifts you can give this holiday season, and we're making it even easier to give a new Kindle this Christmas with free two-day shipping," said Dave Limp, Vice President, Amazon Kindle.

"We created the Kindle family to make it easy for people to do the things they love. Kindle, Kindle Touch and Kindle Touch 3G are for people who love to read and want the best reading experience in the world.

“Kindle Fire is the most successful product we've ever launched and delivers a fully-integrated service that makes it easy to do the things customers love - watch movies, listen to music, download apps, play games, read books and magazines and surf the web - all for the unbelievable price of $199," concluded the company’s rep.

To take advantage of this free two-day shipping offer, customers simply add a Kindle to their cart and select two-day shipping when they check out.

Together with the Kindle, Amazon customers are also offered the chance to give away eBooks as presents and can choose the time when they want the gift to be delivered. These will arrive via e-mail and can be read not only on the Kindle but also on the app available for their operating system.
