So, yesterday, Amazon announced their very neat looking Kindle Fire.
That really stung because I bought the KSO for $114 just 2 months ago after much deliberation. :(
Since I'm a cheapskate, I've only used it to download FREE out-of-copyright books and have been quite happy with some of them which ties into our homesteading dreams:
There are also tons of other free e-books from Hans Christian Anderson (for the kids) to Jane Austin. If my readers have any other free (or cheap) e-book recommendations, please let me know!
If you don't want to buy a Kindle, you can still download the books using their App and read them on other devices. Or, Google books is also another great resource for free classic books.
I got my KSO from Staples using my ink rewards so I got it for nothing out of pocket but it still stung.
Don't get my wrong. I still love my KSO but now I love it a little less. Now the newer version of KSO is $79. Argh!
While I managed to snag the HP Touchpad 32 GB for $150 when they were having their fire sale, the Touchpad is nice, but Kindle Fire with its free video streaming with Amazon Prime is a nice feature.
I will also talk about ways to get free or reduced rates on Amazon Prime in another post.
If you're planning on getting just the regular Kindle, I strongly recommend KSO instead. The ads don't interrupt your reading and it's sold at a cheaper price. Some good offers from KSO have included:
- $10 for $20 worth of Amazon credit
- $15 off $30 school supplies purchases
- 20% off a select HDTVs
- 50% of Back-to-School groceries
- $25 off $50 select Back-to-School gear
The 50% off select groceries was what pushed me to get the KSO. There were some awesome deals to be had on coffee, vita coco and ramen. So, if you're thinking of getting a Kindle that's NOT the fire, KSO is definately the way to go!
