Kindle

Hi, I'm looking for a kindle for mum for her birthday, tried tesco ( so I can use the £10 discount code!) but they're out of stock
Anyone know of anywhere else I could get one that's around £80? Dad and I are sharing the cost but our budget is £40 each.

Have you thought about a refurbished keyboard kindle from Amazon?

Try again.............the first time I looked on Tesco they were out of stock but for some reason decided to try again a short while later and they were back in stock! Random I know, but I'm not really excited waiting to go and collect mine tomorrow :-)

Check out this site for free Kindle books and also remember to check daily on Amazon for their free book of the day

Currys have a Valentines offer that is the Kindle plus a case for £89. And you will get a £10 voucher off a future Currys purchase

A friend of mine was telling me that W H Smiths do a version which are currently on special offer. I think their called Kobo and theres a choice of 2 or 3 types / options depending on your needs / wants. HTH

I searched kobo and this kindle thread came up first, but my comment could be entered in either.

Prior to Christmas, I was all for buying a kindle from amazon for my wife and trawled the net for access to ebooks and have quite a long list of companies, but Christmas came and went with no kindle.

Kobo has featured on Ideal World this weekend and I've been tempted, due to the low cost. However, it seems they come with 100 free books on them, then when you consider increasing your stock, two things have held me back.

1), it seems you need extra memory and

2), the free kobo books, look as they are all "classics".

My wife would not wish to read them as she tends to read "love/romance".

So unless I've misunderstood, kindle would be the best option, or would it?

my OH bought me a Kindle for Christmas and I wouldn't be without it now. There are thousands of free books around, I've found so many good indie authors and have spent very little. Plenty of these have been 'chick lit', and the fact you can store around 1500 books make it even better :-)
