If you leave it turned off most of the time, you have to wait for all the expired offers to download, one at a time, before you finally get new ones.

Plug it on overnight and leave WiFi on.

Even with dial-up, you should be able to get a setup that adds wifi to the house (shared via the PC, using a USB-to-WiFi adapter).

No. I have 7 AmazonLocal ads and 1 Active Content ad.

Do you have a link for that offer?

I think only those who own a K4 or KT got that offer.

Not surprised. Amazon has done this before and released model specific special offers.

It's silly I mean everyone should get the offer. It might motivate someone to buy a Kindle 4 or Kindle Touch if they can get a good offer on the case or it make a nice gift for someone who has one.

Yeah, I agree.

Thanks for the link. If you don't mind, I'd appreciate any heads up on offers you get on your K4 so I can keep the OP updated with all special offers. Since I only have a K3, I'll never see these other offers on mine.

No problem I'll let you know if I get any you don't.

For most of a week, my SS had an offer to upgrade to Prime, while I had an ad to use my Prime to send a Valentine's Day gift with 2-day shipping....

New Offer (claim by 19 Feb)

Get $15 off a $50 Swimwear Purchase -- exp 19 Mar

MikeCL · 02-18-2012, 10:56 AM

Since the offers have been so poor I've just turned off the wireless but I will keep checking in here.

I got an offer on my K4 that will allow me to buy the extended warranty for $24.99. Apparently they're offering it for those that bought their reader over the holidays. Normally you only have a 30 day window to do so but this offer extends that to 90 days.

It's a good deal that they replace it 3 times IIRC and cover accidental damage. It's too bad not all reader manufacturers offer accidental damage coverage. I just don't think paying $25 for something that cost me $80 is a worthwhile expenditure especially when in all likelihood I'll be buying another unit in 2 years or less anyways.
