ShyWriter Posted May 2, 2012 ID:548313 Share Posted May 2, 2012 . Return of the $139 Kindle FireThe last time Amazon offered this deal, it sold out by late afternoon. Grab yours before they're gone again! by Rick Broida May 2, 2012 6:00 AM PDT (Credit: Amazon)It was just over a month ago that Amazon slashed the refurbished Kindle Fire to $139. Since then, it's been selling for $169 -- still a great deal, but not this great.Today only, and while supplies last, Amazon once again has the refurbished Kindle Fire tablet for $139 shipped.Now's the time to score Mother's Day gold. Or Father's Day gold. And don't forget about graduate gold. By which I mean: awesome gift item!Like last time, the sellout potential here is huge. Even at the new price of $199, the Kindle Fire is a great 7-inch tablet. Though it lacks a few amenities, like cameras and Bluetooth, it's really terrific for consuming media: books, music, videos, games, and the like. I must admit that since I got mine, I've barely touched my Nook Color.In case you're not aware, Amazon's refurbs come with a full one-year warranty, same as new. If you purchased one of these last time out, hit the comments and let your fellow cheeps know what kind of condition it was in. If it's anything like Barnes & Noble's refurbs (which I'm pretty sure it is), it'll be almost indistinguishable from new.So, who's in?Bonus deal: Whoa! Remember that Obihai OBi110 gadget from a few days ago? It plugs into your router and provides free (for now) phone service via Google Voice. The company is currently offering a free refurbished OBi110 VoIP adapter to active U.S. military servicepersons stationed outside the U.S. That is singularly awesome. I tip my hat to you, Obihai.SOURCE: http://news.cnet.com...39-kindle-fire/ Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still prefer the feel of paper when I read books and newspapers and magazines so it doesn't affect me. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountaintree16 Posted May 2, 2012 ID:548330 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Me too, I prefer regular books. However it would be handy if travelling for a long period of time and for Netflix/Hulu/etc.... reader + tablet is cool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
