But you already have more free coins than you can spend... This recent announcement from Amazon may help, though:

Quote:
Starting on Thanksgiving and for a limited time, Amazon Appstore will offer a Free App of the Day bundle, featuring over $115 in top paid apps and games for free on Android devices. Throughout the holiday season, the Amazon Appstore will have hundreds of titles that are either free, or available between 50% - 90% off.

I'm stockpiling them in the hopes that Amazon Coins will become legal tender on Amazon Fresh. Then I'll order bananas, bananas, and more bananas.

That's cool. I bet I already have most of the free ones they're gonna give away.

You might just get bananas thrown at you if you try this.

And the cheapest one is $8.99. A good deal if you were already planning to buy one of the albums, but not otherwise.

I just got another 500 coins for free and have no idea where they came from. Can anyone shed some light on this? The only thing I've done differently is to set up my new Fire HD 6.

Might be that, I'll let you know if I get some when I setup that Paperwhite I bought for Mom. (Which will probably be Monday or Tuesday.)

Must be a new offer. I didn't get any when I got my Fire HD6 in October.

Look for a free app offer later today, related to an offer including songs, apps, and an Audible offer originally posted in the Audible deals thread.

Go to the main Amazon App Store page. Above the free app of the day is a small banner "Verizon Connection Day" which has a big long ugly URL, which probably has all sorts of stuff in it that I'm not supposed to post here.

It looks like the promotion pages are still being worked on. It includes free songs (both normal and Prime) and free apps as well as the Audible offer. When I first went to the page, the songs showed up but the apps section was blank. After I "bought" some of the songs, I reloaded the page to see if the apps would show. Instead, the normal songs disappeared and the only things showing were the Prime songs and the Audible offer.

Update: Okay, weirdly, the apps on the Verizon offer page still won't show up for me in Firefox but do show in IE. Anyway, here are the titles:

Sonic The Hedgehog 2
KAYAK PRO
Rayman Jungle Run
Daniel Tiger's Day & Night
Cut the Rope
Perfectly Clear
Docs To Go Premium Key
Alarm Clock Xtreme
Daily Workouts


Most have been previously offered for free. Cut the Rope is the only one I wanted that I didn't already have.

Thanks for the tip on using IE. I had the same Firefox problem you did. I already had 9 of the apps. I didn't have Daniel Tiger, so I pounced on it.

What's really stupid is when I copy/pasted the links in from IE (NOT logged in), they show as free in Firefox.

So to make life simpler for others, here's those links from IE, loading the page up clean without being logged in, so shouldn't be any extra crap in them:

And just to be complete, here's a list of all the free songs:
  • Hark! The Herald Angels Sing by Pentatonix
  • Pieces by Andrew Belle
  • Seasons by Future Islands
  • Lucky You by The National
  • Hey Mami by Sylvan Esso
  • Swimming Pool Blues by Miniature Tigers
  • Closer [Explicit] by Mike Stud
  • New York City by Lenny Kravitz
  • Can't Break Me Down by Billy Idol
  • Simple Machine by Guster

If you follow the Verizon link just below the Audible offer, it will take you to a page where Verizon has other offers for Connection Day. Some are trials like free preview of the FiOS app, a day of Apple Radio, and PandoraOne one week trial, but there are some free magazines for Kindle Fire, Apple, Google Play, and Zinio.

Well, I was going to pick up that free issue of Wired, but it won't let me. Apparently despite my having a Kindle Paperwhite on my account now, it's not compatible. But it specifically lists the Kindle as a compatible device. So the lower quality eInk screen's fine but the higher quality one isn't? Also, totally disses the first gen Kindle Fire as incompatible too...

Yeah, that's kinda broken. Guess it's a good thing I didn't want it very badly.

Amusingly I figure this is perfectly apropos for a promotion from Verizon, given their normal stellar customer service quality.

Also, here's the link to the Verizon offer page directly.

Great find

I missed that. Such tiny print at the bottom. It's as if they didn't want very many people to take advantage of their offers.

Not anything to do with Amazon or books, but Microsoft is giving away 100 free MP3 albums for Windows 8 users and Windows Phone users. Looks to be available for at least 2 more weeks. Go to this CNET blog post for details:
