Yep; the key to making it free is that the offers you take advantage of are also items you were going to buy anyway (with or without savings). Here's my post from another thread explaining my rationale:
Here are some of the initial offers for this new Kindle:
- $10 for $20 Amazon.com Gift Card
- $6 for 6 Audible Books (normally $68)
- $1 for an album in the Amazon MP3 Store
- Buy one of 30 Kindle bestsellers with your Visa card and get $10 Amazon.com credit
- 50% off Roku Streaming Player (normally $99)
I'm in the market for the following items either for myself or for gifts:
- Kindle 3 - $25 savings
- Roku XDS - $50 savings
- Audible books - $62 savings
- Music - $8 savings
- eBooks - $10 savings
- Gift Cards - $10 savings
Do the math: $50 + $62 + $8 + $10 + $10 = $140 =
FREE KINDLE and $26 left over.
I'm getting one - I love free when it's stuff I was getting anyway.
