(Sorry for the earworm.)
Right now there’s a Lightning Deal at Amazon on a refurbished Kindle Fire 8.9″, which could be a great way to save on the latest/greatest version if you’re so inclined. It’s certified/warranteed, so why not save a little if it’s something you’d been planning on getting, anyway?
I still have my trusty plain-old Kindle that just… lets me read books. I’m okay with that for now.
Woo hoo! I’ve been lusting after the bigger screen. I use my current Fire often as a tablet computer – to the extent of putting all the pdfs for a work conference on it rather than lug around the giant paper book they give us (tax accountants: we love killing trees). Besides, my poor eyes aren’t getting any younger (why don’t they sell anti-aging products for your eyesight? Oh, wait, they do – they just call it lazer eye surgery!).
I’ve a 15 month old, 7″ Kindle Fire in pristine condition, with screen protector and leather case to sell now…if anyone here is interested, drop me a comment on my blog with your e-mail and I’ll make you a special deal, because Mir is pretty and helped me indulge myself at a lower cost.
