Tomorrow is Amazon’s 2nd annual Prime Day event with tons of sales for Amazon Prime members. So far the early deals have been pretty lame; hopefully they will have some good deals on Kindle ereaders and Fire tablets tomorrow because right now there’s not much action in that department.

Last year’s Prime Day kinda sucked I thought, but then again I don’t buy women’s clothes or jewry, cheap multifunctional watches, or junk you can find on the Home Shopping Network.
I could’ve missed out on something I wanted… but I didn’t see anything worth getting all worked up about. Let’s hope this one doesn’t fizzle out as I feel the last Prime Day did.
I saw this headline that says, “Walmart takes on Amazon’s Prime Day with big bargains and free shipping” So I might also investigate things there.
Here’s a list with a sneak peek of some of the Prime Day deals that are going to be offered tomorrow. At least the Paperwhite made the list, and some Fire devices. In Canada they are taking $70 off the Kindle Voyage but once again it doesn’t appear to be getting discounted in the US.
Thanks Nathan. If I am able I’ll get two of them Kindle Fires $33.33 for my niece and her daughter 🙂
Better act fast! The deals are ongoing now. And they took $50 off the Voyage after all.
I just came in under the wire and the two Kindle Fires I bought for $33.33 apiece are on the way to my niece and her daughter… Thanks Nathan!!!
Glad I could help!
