This limited-quantity sale is probably the best e-reader deal of this holiday season. The Kindle 2s are brand new (not refurbs), and it's not known how many Amazon will make available at this price. The sale starts at 9am Pacific time today (Friday). Tip: Click to the page below, ahead of time, and refresh the page until the Kindle 2 deal becomes active. You can also filter the category to "Kindle Store". Right now it's showing that the Kindle 2 lightning deal will start in 2 hours, 40 minutes - exactly at 9am Pacific time (i.e. 12 noon Eastern time.) This deal will go to the fastest clickers! Post here if you're one of the lucky ones who get a K2 for this price! http://www.amazon.com/Black-Friday-After-Thanksgiving-Sale/b/?ie=UTF8&node=384082011&tag=kindleboards-20 |

Harvey! Quit telling people about this! How am I going to have any chance of snagging one? !!!   (The plan is to set it up and see if my 91 year old aunt can use it to read. . . .) |

I was planning to buy two of them (if it lets me buy multiples), but I think we're going to go with the Kindle 3 Wifi instead. We still have 2 1/2 hours to decide...!

I was going to get this for my son who doesn't like to read. I was thinking that maybe this would encourage him to want to read more. But I had my daughter feel him out last night and he said he didn't want a Kindle.  I was looking forward to the excitement of trying to get one. LOL Good luck to you who are trying for one today! ~C |

I'm hoping to get one for my 14 year old ds. He's been snagging mine at night and I want it back. Lol. Thanks for the filter hint, I was panicking cause I couldn't find the deal.  |

We're trying for 2... One for my niece and one for the BRAT that does not yet have a Kindle/iPhone..
Hopefully hubs and I can be quick enough.... I might even have to enlist the help of a BRAT for this too...

I'm figuring I can find SOMEONE to give this to, or keep it as a spare for me.

Good luck, everybody! I just bought a laptop - they were all gone within like the first minute. And laptops are a dime a dozen; there's only one Kindle (on sale, that is)!  |

Corky, I think their site is overloaded with people hitting refresh. I got the same thing, but then sorted it by UPCOMING deals instead and was able to pull it up.

I hope all that want one, are able to get one. I can't even check out the offers as the pages won't load at all. I see a few of the ones already up for sale, but most I just get the turning circles.

I've been planning to get one of these just for overseas travel 3G connection, but I think I am going to get by with my wifi K3 instead!

10 minutes. . . . I believe they're new -- they're available through Warehouse deals for $139.

I had a talk with my son and it turns out that my daughter asked him if he thought that I was going to let him read on my DX that is on it's way. He didn't actually think that I would buy him one. So, going to try for one too! Fingers crossed for everyone!! ~C |
