If it's the latter what exactly do I have to do? That may end up the deciding factor on whether to get one or find a different toy, maybe a camera.
It really depends on what that daily email is. It probably isn't going to work as it is probably intimately tied to Amazon. I do get emails from Kobo with suggestions for books. If I decide I want one, I can click on it to see it in the browser, click the "Buy now" and confirm the purchase and the book is added to my library. The next time I sync the device, the book will be added to it. I am not familiar enough with Amazon equivalent, or any other sources for books to know how different the process is.
