This is the time of year when people start asking about Black Friday deals on Kindles, Kobo ereaders, Nooks, PocketBooks and Onyx’s devices, among others, so I thought I’d explain how it generally works this time of year. Amazon usually starts their Black Friday deals on Kindles about one week before Black Friday so you […]
