Need to buy a Kindle as a present, but where.
Looking for the 3G version, need a case as well according to posts I have read.
Any deals about??

    You will struggle to find a 'deal' as such - amazon essentially dictate the price.
    best bet is to find supplementary offer, eg double club card points when buying from Tesco

    Also, except for somewhere like eBay, I don't think you can buy it online anywhere other than direct from Amazon. A few retailers sell it in store though - Tesco, John Lewis & Currys (or via 'click & collect / reserve services etc). Amazon reserves that 'right' for itself.

    I know its not a deal, or a particularly good price, but if you buy amazon/kindle's own brand leather cover it is designed to attach to the device with a clever little hook mechanism. all other knock off covers have a surrounding piece of material that holds the kindle but gets in the way. If i was buying mine again, i'd bite the bullet and get the amazon brand one.
    go through nectar.com for nectar points on amazon, it'll soften the blow ever so slightly!

    I agree with you Garret. I wanna get hold of one of those for myself but the Nook Color is only sold in the USA, and shipping costs and custum charges + plus 20% VAT will be very steep! A much better device though I agree! It can be hacked and be made into a small tablet device, not just for reading ebooks like the kindle.
