If it has a home button on the front, it is the original KT.

No button, it would be the "All-new Kindle Basic" version 3 or 4, a.k.a. the KT2.

Thanks. I didn't look at all carefully, so can't answer. But someone on Slickdeals bought one for $63 and claims it is the 7th gen (current) Kindle. Perhaps worth a trip to a nearby Staples for someone looking for the new Touch Kindle.

I saw that happen recently with another item I was watching. Disappeared before its scheduled sale time. Strange.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 dropped from 399 to 355 (white) or 335 (bronze) today, probably due to Nexus 9 shipments finally going out.
I keep hovering over the buy button. If it had a 3:4 aspect ratio, I'd bite, otherwise, it would need to go below the iPad mini 2 price of 299.

Keep an eye on the mini. Last year, it sold for $299 and included a free $100 gift card. Both Best Buy and Walmart had the promo. A $200 mini 2 would be a killer of a deal.

Indeed, and I count on YOU, Sockmonkey, to post about it!! I don't need a Mini, since i have the Air, but if a $200 deal came my way, it would be very hard to resist....

...and speaking of the Air, Sam's Club is having a one day Holiday Savings Celebration on 15 Nov at 7am. Included in the sale is the iPad Air 16GB at $100 off. It currently sells for $399, so that should bring the price down to $299. This offer is also available online and can be found on page 2 of the ad scan.

Sam's Club is a membership club owned by Walmart and similar to Costco. For those who don't have memberships, LivingSocial is currently running a great offer on a membership.

Whaaat, you get a complimentary spouse or another household member?! For the low price of $45?!?!? This thread is not in the Deals and Freebies forum for nothing!

I'm going to go select my new spouse now, hope they have a good selection

PS: Thank you for posting the deal. I already have an iPad Air and have no use for a Sam's Club membership, but it sounds like crazy deal otherwise!!!

Think about it. SC is owned by Walmart. What kind of spouse would you expect to find there?

YW
