I have already covered the Amazon and Barnes and Noble holiday sales in previous entries. (Amazon has added 40 free apps for this weekend.)Here are some links
Nathan from The Ebook Reader has done some nice roundups of the other sales:
At the Kobo Store: Deals include a Kobo Aura for $99 and up to 75% off bestselling books.
At the O’Reilly Store: Deals include 50% off ebooks and videos.
At Google: Deals include 75% off popular e-books (and Amazon is price-matching!).
And for the online traffic report: Best Buy’s website was down this morning when I checked (more details here). Walmart.com and NewEgg were running a bit slow for me this morning. And it’s not even Cyber Monday yet! Happy shopping!
Have you seen anything on line today that you just couldn’t resist?

Barnes and Noble has put their Black Friday deals up on their website. They are offering a variety of goodies; some are available online, others are in-store only.
The big doorbuster in-store item is the the Nook-branded Samsung Galaxy Tab 7″ for $129.99. There are also signed editions from authors such as E.L. James, Donna Tartt, Neil Gaiman and more. These are labeled while supplies last and you can enter a zip code to find a store near you.
Available online, there are a number of 50% off items, including educational toys and games, activity kits, gift books and DVDs. There are also some buy one, get 50% off one items.
Barnes and Noble is also offering a 30% off one item coupon which can be used online or printed and used in-store. Nook books and devices are excluded from the offer.
The Black Friday weekend sale runs from November 28 to November 30, 2014.
I had this blog post ready to go yesterday about Amazon’s holiday promotions which included various Kindles bundled with Kindle Unlimited subscriptions. I was surprised when I found out this morning that they had reduced the prices even more on the bundles! The price updates are in red.
First, Amazon is bundling sales of its Kindle and Kindle Fire Devices with 6 months of their Kindle Unlimited subscription serve for a savings of about $40. According to the promotion page, there are currently 4 choices:
Amazon.com is also offering $40 off if you purchase Prime with a new Fire HD tablet. The offer seems to exclude the Fire Kids Edition: That device’s product page does not show the Prime banner. The Fire HD 6, 7 and 7″ HDX are all on sale today for an extra $20 off.
And finally, if you really wanted one but thought the price was too high, Amazon has reduced the price for the unlocked, 32Gb Fire Phone. You can now purchase one for only $199. The deal includes a year of Amazon Prime. You can still get the AT & T version for 99 cents with a two year contract.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Today, Verizon Wireless is giving away free digital gifts for their Connection Day promotion. Many of these free gifts are geared towards holiday travelers.
Among the offerings:
You don’t have to be a Verizon customer to take advantage of the free offers, but there is a bonus offer of exclusive access to movies and TV if you are an existing Verizon FiOS customer. There are terms and conditions which apply, so read the fine print. The offer is only valid until midnight!
You can get more info at the Verizon Connection Day page.

If you like to shop online and are ready to get a head start on your holiday shopping, Amazon has already started their Black Friday deals sales. New lightning deals are now appearing every 10 minutes. You never know what you are going to see in these sales- last year I saw a trolling motor for a boat as a lightning deal! 🙂
There are also some very good deals in electronics, including a Kindle Fire HDX 7″, HDX Display, Wi-Fi, 64 GB – Includes Special Offers (Previous Generation – 3rd) for only $219 and a Certified Refurbished Kindle Fire HD 8.9″ 4G LTE Wireless, Dolby Audio, Dual-Band Wi-Fi, 64 GB – Includes Special Offers for only $199. (That one is pretty tempting!) The 32 GB version is only $179.
There are also deals on tablets, desktops, musical equipment, audio and fitness gear, so there’s a lot to choose from.
This year, the Brick and Mortar stores will be starting deals as early as Thanksgiving night for the Black Friday sales. What do you think of the idea?
