Something changed with Amazon’s approach to putting Kindles on sale late last year when they only took $20 off the Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite for their vaunted Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. Since then, Kindles have been going on sale less frequently than they used to, and when they do go on sale the […]
Kindle Prime Day Deals List 2024 – Worst Deals Ever
Amazon’s Prime Day sales are now live, and the deals on Kindles are the worst I’ve ever seen, with the exception of the Kindle Scribe. My Prime Day predictions were way off because I was using last year’s sales as a starting point, and the deals aren’t nearly as good this year. Prime Day used […]
