I like ours already. There are so many books that are free that we read for school anyway. I am going to box up the paper copies and clear some shelves out! It does not hold a lot of books though.

I picked up two of them yesterday. The manager checked me out so I did not think they would price match AND give me the 30%. She did! After tax and subtracting the $10 Kohls cash for each, it cost me $20.50. I homeschool the seven kids so this will be really helpful. There are 25 pre-loaded classic books. About 19 of them are books that my children are required to study in their literature programs. You have access to >150 books on the Kobo site plus many more via other sites. I hope to be able to use it for the library e-books. I must say it is not nears as nice as the Kindle but for the money, you cannot beat it.
Page turning is a little persnickety!
My DD is reading Little Women right now as I type.

I am a librarian. From the discussions I have been in on, you will have to go either Nook or Sony E-reader. The Kindle will NOT work with Overdrive. (They are or have just released a Mac version for the Ipad). Overdrive basically has the market for library e-books. Our system is way too small to do e-books, but if your mom is in an area with a population above 15000, odds are very good, she will be able to get books from Overdrive through her library.
On a side note, I would highly recommend that for Christmas you consider giving your kids a library card. It is a great way to teach them extra responsibility and the cost savings are AMAZING. Today's libraries have so much to offer, from great programs to DVDs, video games, and of course books. OK off my soap box! Just thought since I had a moment, I would try a shameless plug for the libraries! :-)
Thank you so much for your input! I do know she has access to Overdrive ... so do we. I think I would be more apt to use overdrive also. I have to agree that librarians have\o much to offer. We do have library cards and do use them occasionally. At present, I have over 4,000 children's books catalogued here at home. Yes, catalogued! I must agree that the public library system is such an awesome service! Thank you for all that you do at the library!

I am at a loss on what to purchase for my mother! I was thinking she may enjoy an eReader. I know she will not pay for eBooks so I was wondering if there were eBooks that can be downloaded from the libraries. Okay, I admit I do not use the library often. With 7 kids, I just buy the book and I get my money's worth out of it.
So, here are my questions:
1. Can you download eBooks from libraries? (She downloads audiobooks with Overdrive already from her library.)
2. If you can download eBooks from the libraries, are there any newer books or is it just the classics?
3. What type of reader works best for this use? It looks like the Kindle is linked to only Amazon books. ... not sure about the nook .... any other suggestions? I know she does not need 3G .. only wiFi.
Thanks for the help. I tried searching but cannot seem to find the info I need! I am down to the wire. We have an extra week as we will not be going home until around New Years Day.
Thanks!

I got a Leapster Explorer @ Target for $32.87!!!
Target price $59.99
Target Coupon - $10.00
Recylcebank.com coupon - $10.00
Cheerios coupon - $10.00

I didn't know if Target would let me use all the coupons but figured I would try it, cashier scanned them without blinking!
What is recyclebank.com coupon??? I am so lost most of the time.

8888
I figured it out. Nevermind. I am sitting on the fence about whether to go and pick one up!

I also am looking for a speaker dock/charger for an ITouch. Any suggestions.... do not want to high-jack but that does sound like a good accessory!
:)

I would love one of iPod coupons if anyone is not using theirs. It would be such a blessing!
Thanks!

Last year, I picked up one for $29.99 at BB. I wonder if they will go that low again!

Yes, you are wrong. Netflix ships the disk and you put it in your PS3 and presto, you're streaming movies.
You can stream movies with the XBox using their Instant Watch choice. I know you can watch DVDs and BlueRays with the PS3.
-
I think you will not see any console deals on BF. Probably should be looking now. Deepdiscount had the PS3 for $250 this weekend. $250 (shipped free) is an excellent deal for a game console + blu-ray player + netflix/dlna client.
I did not think you could stream Netflix on the PS3. Am I wrong?
Thanks.
-
Is this a really good deal? It worked for me.
Just not sure!
-
Thanks! I picked up three pairs .... Size 4, 5, and 6. I also used the free shipping code:3011901

Just ordered two dual chargers. It is cheaper to get another charging station with the two batteries than to get a free battery and pay shipping. Each battery ends up costing 5.00 or so instead of 5.99
-
DS has just finished saving up enough money to purchase an Ipod Touch so we are also looking for the best deal. So far it looks like Amazon.com with free shipping and no tax is the best!

Thanks! I picked up a lot for the kids to watch! They are selling out quite quickly!

I have done this offer through Amazon. It just so happened that we needed to get a Visa card. I ended up getting the PS3 for $249 with the Risistance 2 Collectors Edition and the full set of AV cables. Poopoohead is right!!! It is difficult to resist the urge to purchase more ps3 items!!!! Amazon also had the controller for $40.?? which I thought was really good.

CNET review: http://reviews.cnet.com/flat-panel-tvs/westinghouse-tx-47f430s/4505-6482_7-32429415.html
Tigerdirect and CompUSA has the same TV for the same price as well.
Looks like the TigerDirect and the CompUSA are refurbished models. If the shipping wasn't so high! I just don't know!!!

out of stock.

Boy am I tempted!!!! We have a 32" Westinghouse and are pleased. It is a lot of money though! Not clear reviews on Amazon ...... hmmmm......

You can get a Xbox 360 Elite for $339.15 after 15% coupon code 8BM53TB8R1DXC0 right now at the DELL website with free shipping.
Sorry, since I'm new, the forum won't let me post a link. BTW the coupon works with other game systems too.
Gee Whiz.... I wish I had found this deal earlier! I am searching everywhere for a good deal for the XBox (60gb) for my son. He is using most of his money to purchase it. We are giving him money for Christmas.....boring...... so he can pay for it.
:bigcry: -
My little ones loved the wii play games.

Hmmmm. The XBox deal looks the best that I have seen since it includes the Gears of War. The other two games are not of much interest though.
I wonder if there will be several or maybe available on-line...doubt-it.

I seem to remember that airsoft guns are usually on sale...or at least the bbs are .... on BF. Has anyone seen them. I just can't see any on the BF scans this year. Did I miss them?

Got an e-mail saying it was being shipped, then got a notice that there was a problem and they would ship ASAP. We will see!
I sure hope it works out since I have bought accessories for it already .... which, by the way, have already been delivered!
