One wanted me to buy a mobile hotspot you get $100 off your tablet or laptop of you do the other wanted to sell me Microsoft Office for $99. I was then asked the same questions at the check out which I was in line for over an hour and then in the pick up line for 20 minutes and had to wait 5 more for them to find the laptop which was in the back of the store.

They also were advertising this laptop as a touchscreen! I knew it wasn't as I did my homework before going. I am now a new owner of a Samsung ATIV Book 4. So happy birthday to me. Oh the touch pad is just the right size too.

Congrats to the Ativ (I have the Ativ 700t and love it) and happy birthday, but that BB experience sounds like a horror trip. They don't have anything I am interested in, though I almost went to get a secind K4B, teling myself I could keep that one registered on amazon.fr. Reading abiut your experience, I am now so glad I didn't go!

Haven't noticed any per se. CM is usually a let down with prices higher than BF. There may be a few deals just as good; but usually not.

Audible has a new promo:

• Treat Yourself Sale! (300+ books, $4.95 each) - exp 03 Dec

Best Buy still has several tablets for sale at BF pricing, including last year's Kindle Fire HD 7 16GB for $100. That would make an excellent gift for young children; especially when coupled with FreeTime Unlimited and a heavy-duty case.

See the front page under Tablets for available models and links.

Not sure if this is the right place, this is my first post of this type:

Amazon US is selling the Kindle DX with free 3G for $169, down from the listed $239:

Amazon's home page said it was a limited time offer but didn't give details.

It's the right place, but it's been mentioned already; and a repeat mention doesn't hurt

Best Buy is giving you $10 savings code for every $100 spent (up to $50) when you order online and pick up in store. Good Nov 30 - Dec 2. You'll receive the code Dec 9th which is valid for 2 weeks. Check your emails.

Yes, I noticed your other audiobook post in the audiobook thread right after.

I thought anybody considering a Kindle might want to know about this. YMMV

American Express is offering a $25 statement credit on a single purchase of $75 or more at Amazon through the end of the year. There are 3 ways to get this offer.

You can go to the American Express Sync site sync.americanexpress.com and sync your card to either your Twitter or your Facebook account and then add this offer to your sync'd card through Twitter https://apps.facebook.com/amexlinklikelove/
or Facebook
https://twitter.com/#!/AmericanExpress/favorites .

I find it easier to login to my American Express account and click the card I want to add the offer to, scroll down to "Offers For You" and click the "Save Offer" button to add that offer to that specific card. This also makes it easier to make sure that your card is eligible for this offer. I believe that only personal American Express cards are eligible, including Serve, but not other prepaid cards.

Anyway, this sounds like a good way to get $25 back on a Kindle (or something else) if you qualify.

Terms:
Spend $75 or more, get $25 back EXPIRES 12/31/2013

OFFER DETAILS
Get a one-time $25 statement credit by using your enrolled Card to spend a total of $75 or more online at Amazon.com by 12/31/2013.

TERMS
Must add offer to Card and use same Card to redeem. Offer valid only for purchases on Amazon.com; not valid at any non-US or non-English versions of Amazon.com or websites affiliated with or linked to Amazon.com. If you order an item during the offer period but it is not sent to you until after 12/31/13, it may not count towards determining whether your purchase qualifies. Enrollment is limited. Limit 1 statement credit per American Express Card across all American Express offer channels. Statement credit will appear on your billing statement within 90 days after 12/31/13, provided that American Express receives information from the merchant about your qualifying purchase. Note that American Express may not receive information about your qualifying purchase from the merchant until all of the items from your qualifying purchase have been provided or shipped by the merchant. Statement credit may be reversed if qualifying purchase is returned/cancelled. If American Express does not receive information that identifies your transaction as qualifying for the offer, you will not receive the statement credit. For example, your transaction will not qualify if it is not made directly with Amazon.com. In addition, in most cases, you will not receive the statement credit if your transaction is made with an electronic wallet or through a third party. Program Terms and Conditions apply; see below for details. POID: AW76:0001

Thanks for mentioning that. Most of the major credit cards have various offers going on for the holidays. My Visa card is giving back 5% for all Amazon purchases (plus other stores) through the end of Dec. And I believe that Target Red Cards give back 5% year-round for Target purchases.

More savings means more money for more toys

Sony's pretty much given up on the US market and since Black Friday is primarily a US event and no stores were offering sales on Sony ereaders, I left them out.

I have no problem with anyone posting sales for any ereader here. More options are always better.
