Special Offers list

[MichelleR]

I'm glad to hear about the cover -- will definitely take advantage of that one.

I don't know if I posted this here, but I've saved about $50 so far, not including the $25 discount prices. I didn't need this one, but I bought it as an experiment to see how fast it would pay for itself and also to use for the books I plan on reviewing for RAR. Having had it -- what? 2 weeks -- and getting offers I can genuinely use every couple days? I think it's a great bargain, and I'd been hesitant in the beginning.

Anyhow, $20 gift card for $10
$40 jeans for $20
$9 Album for a $1
Bought a $10 bestseller with my Visa and will be getting a $10 credit -- and some of the eligible books were $5, so, yay!

With the cover, which I needed, that will be another $30 savings.

Just got my email for the 50% off a Roku and my Roku XD is on the way.  

So glad I got the SO instead of the regular Kindle 3.  I was having a hard time deciding initially.  I definitely made the right choice.

I just got the email for my Roku too.. Luckily, I have until August 16th to use it.. (So even if you don't need one NOW, have them send you the email, you might change your mind)

[tubemonkey]

Amazon lists the HD for $69.99, while Roku lists it for $59.99 ...hmmm

I don't see the Rokus going anywhere or running out.

Neither do I, unless they sell more than they wanted to. In that case, the "special offer Rokus" will suddenly be sold out.

Yeah, I noticed that too.  It's actually been at $69.99 on Amazon for a while (I looked back when I first heard that the Roku deal was coming up soon).  I purchased the XD, which is $78 on Amazon and $79.99 on Roku's site.  I wanted the 1080p and 802.11N capability anyway, so 50% off the $78 was a good deal.

I just got my email as well and ordered the XDS and should have it by Tuesday.

I too am glad I waited for the SO K3 instead of buying the regular K3 when it first came out last August. I'd been wanting a new Kindle but could not justify the reason since I already have a K2. But when the SO K3 came out, I just had to have one, knowing that it would pay for itself in the long run with all the deals it offers.

Okay this is a little off-topic, but since you're all talking about it anyway, this seems like a good place to ask.

I have the KSO, and had them send me the Roku offer, "just in case".  Until this offer, I hadn't even heard of a Roku.  Now, I'm trying to figure out if this is something we would use.  I have a vague understanding of how it works and what it does.  Does everyone one who has one or is buying one use Netflix?  Is the Roku a better option than, say, holding out for a Wii - which I believe does the same thing (but would also play games, obviously)?  Also, my hubby (who is really the TV watcher in the family - I'd rather read on my Kindle), thinks that the newer DVD players also do what a Roku does - and he'd kind of like to up-grade.  Would this make the Roku unnecessary? 

I'm loving my new KSO, but I'm afraid my hubby is beginning to wonder if it's going to save us money, or *cost* us money  (seeing as how we weren't even considering a Roku until this offer).

I love my Wii, but accessing Netflix thru it is a severe pain in the butt - or at least it was.  I haven't tried in months.  

Accessing Amazon on Demand and Netflix thru my panasonic bluray player tho is a breeze.

My husband uses something called Play-On to access netflix and a bunch of other stuff thru the Xbox 360 (we're not gold members, so paying a onetime fee worked out better for us)
PLayon let's us stream from computer to TV.  However it is a bit buggy, and not HD.

A friend has Xbox Live and that is an easy setup too~

I was debating the Roku for our second bedroom tv, but we so rarely have overnight visitors there's not much point to it, and our main TV and master bedroom TV are covered

Hope that helps some!

edit to add--

huuby said to say that if we had a network bridge our Samsung TV could access the Netflix, AoD etc too - but since the bluray player has wifi and does the same thing - he hasn't bothered...and I hope that makes sense to someone  I don't quite follow it~

I use my Wii for Netflix and it is very very easy. It used to require a disk, now its just a little download and thats that.
Very nice interface too. I guess it depends on ones internet, but I don't have any interuptions, no skipping, always smooth and perfect. Been impressed with that part of it.

I think though Wii is not capable of true HD streaming, but not being able to do a side by side, I have no clue how different it would look.

I still would like a Roku down the line for all the other stuff it does. Plus, I found out they have a channel that plays german news Tageschau. I used to have the International News Channel that had that, but its long gone.  

[bashfulreader]

Thanks Flechette and Atunah.      I'm still not sure how much we'd use it, but I'm starting to feel slightly more "in the loop".  Gosh, I used to think we were so up-to-date with our HDTV, bluray player and A/V amp and speaker system.  I guess we're behind the times if we aren't "streaming" anything.   

Well, at least I know I'm up-to-date in the book world, with my Kindle.

Still waiting for the lighted cover.....

Still waiting for the lighted cover.....

Me too!!! I ordered the Roku on Sunday, and it's being delivered today!! 

[emathieu]

I received my Roku XD today and set it up and it is great!  I was going to pick up a second AppleTV for the bed room (I have one in the Living Room), but decided to get the Roku since at that price it was a no brainer for me.

Overall, I'm very pleased with it.

Now I'm just waiting for the Audible deal... 

[katy32]

Hopefully if they keep up with the 4 days between offers we will have a new offer on Saturday.  I would prefer if it was the lighted cover, but would be happy with the audible offer too.  Come on AMAZON don't let us down!

I vote for the lighted cover!!!!!

[Luvmy4brats]

I'll go through the folder later this afternoon and see what's there... Won't give me any ideas of what's next, but I can compare it to what has already been shown. Maybe there are new offers in there to give us more things to look forward to.

I've done the steps to see the folder of offers on my kindle. There are a lot there, but most are repeats (for the Amazon Visa card, some just saying you get 3x points for Amazon purchases, and then the $100 GC for getting an Amazon Visa) and Olay and Buick ads. Also lots listing the perks of renting a room with a Visa card, or something like that. But there are a few goodies... (drumroll please)...

6 audio books for $6
Buy $5 worth of Kindle Singles and get a $5 Amazon gift card
50% off the kindle lighted cover
$10 for a $30 credit in the Amazon Swim Store

Keep in mind there are 29 folders (ads/offers) so it's impossible to say how soon we'll see these offers.
