Kindle coupon code / Kindle 2 coupon code / Amazon Kindle coupon code: Discounts for Kindle 2
Kindle coupon code / Kindle 2 coupon code / Amazon Kindle coupon code: Discounts for Kindle 2
Is there a coupon code for the Kindle? Are there any discounts for Kindle? Is there a coupon for Kindle 2 or Kindle DX (large screen Kindle)?
Well, people all over the country are continuing to visit this blog, wondering if Amazon is EVER going to release a coupon code for the Kindle 2 / coupon for the Kindle, or offer any discounts for the Kindle. I can tell you that it does not look like a coupon code for Kindle is going to be released right now. However, the price of the Kindle recently dropped to $299, so this is a HUGE deal! The Kindle price without a coupon is now only $299, which is MUCH less than what the original Kindle started at! The Kindles are also shipping very quickly right now - So if you want a Kindle or a Kindle DX (the large screen kindle), just buy a Kindle / Kindle DX already! :)
It could be a very long time before a coupon code for Kindle 2 or any further discounts appear for the Kindle or Kindle DX. But you can bet that if any Kindle coupon codes or Kindle discounts do appear, I will post about it here on Talking Books Librarian blog.

Digital Talking Books arrive!
The Director of Talking Books Services in Kansas, Toni Harrell, recently shared the following news with Kansas Librarians via email on 8/4/09 - it is an exciting time in Kansas:
"You may hear shouts of joy and general excitement coming from a Talking Book Service Center near you as the first titles in the digital format arrived today. The digital players are expected to arrive sometime in the coming weeks.
The new format has many benefits including digital sound quality, ease of navigation, the player is smaller and lighter than the cassette machine, and since most books fit on one cartridge there will be no more turning over tapes or changing side selector switch... Did I mention that there is a sleep button and that the batteries can last 20 plus hours before needing to be recharged? --- Can you tell we are excited???
For more information and a look at the new format check out a recent article at http://statelibrary.mykansaslibrary.org/talking-books-digital-player-debut/ or visit the NLS website at http://www.loc.gov/nls/businessplan/playerdescription.html "
This is definitely an exciting time for Talking Books patrons in Kansas! Yay!
