Free Kindle From Hotels.com – Seriously!

June 2, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Kindle Review – Ok, so my wife is always fighting me to use my Kindle, and I have been planning to get her one soon so we don’t haggle over it all the time. As we were driving the other day, I heard a commercial that I didn’t believe at first – Hotels.com was offering a free Kindle!

I have been a long time Hotels.com user and have been happy with them, so I decided to do a little checking, and sure enough – you can get a free Kindle by booking through Hotels.com. This is not a drawing; they are actually giving out a Kindle to everyone who meets the requirements. Best I can tell from reading about the promotion, you can get that Kindle by doing the following -

  1. Stay 3+ nights
  2. The night must be consecutive (and I assume at the same hotel, but this was not totally clear)
  3. Spend at least $450 total during your stay for the hotel (have you tried getting a decent room lately? $450 is easy to spend)
  4. Don’t apply any other discounts or offers to the deal.
  5. Make sure you enter the coupon code Bookworm when you sign up.

I did not see exactly which Kindle they were giving away, but I assume it is the $114 version. But hey, it’s summertime! If you were already planning to go on vacation, why not get a free Kindle out of it too! Click Here To Check It Out!

PS. One more thing – it looks like this is only for US residents. So for my friends across the pond and around the world, sorry!

Kindle for Web Launched

September 30, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Kindle for Web

Amazon just launched a new program that allows Kindle books to be read inside a web browser.

This is an interesting take on Kindle books, as it allows users to share book excerpts and even embed excerpts on their own sites. If someone buys the book after reading the excerpt, the site owner can get a commission.

What do you think? Is it worth it for Amazon? Seems like a great way to share books (and maybe sell a few more, too!).

Kindle Deals and Bargains Online

July 31, 2010 By Leave a Comment

With the economy the way it was this past year, many people are wanting to stretch every dollar. If you’re looking for Kindle deals and bargains, below we highlight five ways to score an Amazon Kindle and books for cheap!

1.  Amazon – Want free books? Start at the source – Amazon.com! Check out this Free Kindle Book List. Seriously, they are free!

2. Craigslist – This is how I got my first Kindle. Someone was looking for some extra cash and was happy to sell it to me for a great price!

3. DealNews – I just got turned on to Dealnews recently. It has so many great deals on consumer electronics, including quite a few for the Kindle, Kindle books, and Kindle accessories!

4. Local Classifieds and Newspapers – You never know when someone down the street might have upgraded to a Kindle DX and wants to sell their old one! Check out your local paper (maybe you can even read it on your Kindle like I do!).

5. eBay – No doubt eBay is the powerhouse when it comes to online auctions. There are plenty of Kindle to be had on eBay, but as always, you take a risk when buying a used device.

6. Sign up for Audible.com – If you join Audible.com’s AudibleListener® Gold plan, you can get $100 off any Kindle at Amazon! The only catch is that the plan costs $14.95/month, but if you listen to books as much as I do, it might be worth it.

Any other deals out there? Let us know in the comments!
