We still use a little point and shoot because it's better than a phone camera, but most people have higher-end phones so they probably don't need a camera!

We did get the 10 dollar Moto so we'll have a camera phone!

Amazon sells the Echo for $180 and currently has it on sale for $149. Bed Bath & Beyond is matching Amazon's sale price and also offering a 20% off coupon for any one item. With the coupon, BB&B beats out Amazon's price.

I grabbed two of the $10 Moto Es. I'll be using them as MP3 players for music and audiobooks, and will not be activating the phones.

Thanks.

Yes, we got ours for a second "Kindle" and music too. We barely use the phone we have (landline or basic cell). I certainly don't need another one to use as a phone! We will be following your thread on the subject to get the most out of it. Thanks, Tubemonkey!!!

When charged to Amazon's store card and using various promos. See post 150 for details.

How to get an Amazon Echo for $75

apply for an Amazon Prime Store Card
a $20 new card credit will added to your Gift Card balance upon approval (less than a minute)
add the Amazon Echo to your cart for $150 -- this price expires Wed 11 Nov
use your Store Card for the payment method
enter the Store Card promo - ECHODEAL - for $50 off -- price is now $100
enter the above $20 credit from your Gift Card -- price is now $80
you'll get 5% off the purchase price ($100) on your monthly statement -- price is now $75
note = sales tax was not taken in account, since it varies so much

YW. I'm giving my LG Volt to one of my kids and another one gets my Nokia 520. I got two Moto Es - one for the bedroom and one for the living room.

Well darn it, I accidentally got the card on my non-prime account. I have the $20 GC but the ECHODEAL does not work. Ah well...

These weird deals hit fast and then they're gone just as fast. Remotes are an optional expense.

booklover6 · 11-28-2015, 02:26 PM

I may as well order a 35 Fire and get $20 off...so sense letting the GC go to waste!

tubemonkey · 11-28-2015, 02:37 PM

There you go; a $15 Fire. Not bad.

booklover6 · 11-28-2015, 02:41 PM

Changed my mind and got another Fire HD 6 for $50. Yellow and only 8 GB.

I love my Nokia 520. The Nokia 635 was on sale on Black Friday for $25, but I didn't see any reason to upgrade. I purchased an audiobook app called "Audiobooked" which lets me pin audiobook covers to the start screen, so the majority of my tiles are book covers

The app has a free version, but without the ability to pin. I just press on a cover and the audiobook plays.

Also super easy to transfer audiobooks from One Drive to the phone. The audio is surprisingly good as well. Best $20 I've spent for a media player.

Glad it's working out for you. The Nokia 520 was just okay for me. Too many audiobook apps missing from the Windows store. As such, I quite using it for audiobooks and limited its use to music. Even then, missing in action was Prime Music. A major con for me. I'll be glad to pass it on.

The audio is great on the 520. That really surprised me when I first got it.

Why the HD 6? other than it's a better tablet

Blossom · 11-28-2015, 03:12 PM

My 520 is collecting dust. It has battery issues. I was going to give it away as it's a Go phone but it doesn't work in the St Louis region.

My LG Volt is used almost daily to watch videos, listen to teachings and Audibles. I got my money's worth on it. Best purchase of 2014.

That's exactly why.

Plus I will see if MIL wants to trade it for the 2014 HD7 that I got her last spring. She might prefer the smaller size.
