You can knock another $20 off this by going through Ebates.com and using code perkopolis on the checkout page.

I had the 300. I used it a lot at first, but I was always really picky about formatting so I would convert everything I got to RTF and format each book the manually. (I would use tabs instead of new lines for paragraphs to reduce the number of pages, and therefore the frequency page turns). But it was a lot of work so I stopped using it a few years ago.

I chose the Aura because of its size and form factor (love the flat glass front), its epub and cbr/cbz support, and its expandability. I'm hoping that ebook formatting (and consistency) has improved in the last few years and I won't have as many issues, but that remains to be seen...

issybird, I wish I knew that a few hours ago!

The lowest BF price was $74, so this deal beats it by another $5.

The FireTV can also be bought with a gift subscription to Prime (there were directions here last week for those already members) - you have to hunt out the Prime and add it as a gift, but you'll get a $40 bundle discount if both are in the cart during checkout.

Which one did you get? I bought the Mini 2 LTE from Walmart but haven't even opened it yet, trying to convince myself I really REALLY need it.

That price is the current selling price. It'll go lower than that once the lightning deal starts. I picked up a SGT 4 7.0 last Tue from Staples for $100. The lowest price so far.

Thanks, I did not realize it was going lower. Will be watching like a hawk.

Where did you get yours? You might consider a return and buying the lightning deal.

sadievan · 12-01-2014, 08:17 PM

I've selected the No Rush Shipping for a lot of my Christmas gifts. It seems Amazon puts them in specific categories. I have $8.00 in mp3 and $6.00 in instant video. I guess you can't choose where to use them. I also thought it said we could use them for ebooks. I don't see that? Am I missing something?

Amazon. And that's what I will do, unless it's only a few dollars cheaper.

I would try to get credit for the difference, but don't want to be caught on the phone while they are selling out of these.

Wrong thread, but same here. Some of the ones telling me I can spend them in ebooks don't even show up in my account.
