Kindle Amazon or Currys ??

Hubby looking to buy kindle and just realised Currys sell them same price as Amazon. Would there be ny advantage to buying with Amazon ? They are same model and same price.

We are hoping if we go into Currys they will have one on display to " try "

    I bought mine from Amazon as it was automatically linked to my Amazon account so I didn't have to do anything techie . I just buy kindle books and they download to my kindle.

  • Tesco also sell them now as well. May work out better value if you use a clubcard.

    U could get cashbak 3% if u purchase from Currys. OR, if you dont have an Amazon account, Open an amazon credit card and you will get £10 off
  • Personally I wouldn't buy anything from Curry's. I've bought named brands of Laptop and cooker both ended up faulty within a few months, there customer service is dire. Stick with Amazon.

    aaaahhhh, just come across our post, was about to say buy from amazon as they have great customer service...but you could probably still benefit from this by contacting amazon in the first instance if you have any problems

    ps
    would download calibre...great for getting free newspapers to your kindle
