peppysfireball Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 You get that support no matter where you buy it from, but if you buy from amazon, you have until jan 31 to return for full refund no matter what. If you buy from somewhere else, you go buy there return policy. Some only allow 2 weeks on tablets/ In that case if it's after 30 days you get a refurbished unit. One lady bought one for a xxmas gift and registered it, by the time xmas came around it wasn't working and staples wouldn't take it back, she had to go through amazon but it was past the 30 day time period and she couldn't get anything but a refurbished unit. It wouldn't have happened if she'd bought through amazon.
RBWilliams Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Yes, you have to buy from Amazon. There will be a manufacturer warranty from other stores and whatever shortterm warranty they offer.
peppysfireball Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Okay, guys I have a dilemma. My daughter had originally asked for a kindle ereader. I was going to get her the paperwhite. Now she says she'd really like an Ipad. She is fully grown with a baby and I don't spend that much on my grown children,. I spend about 150 -200. What are my options? I thought kindle fire, but what else is close to Ipad without spending 400. I'm really a kindle person.
peppysfireball Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 Yes, you have to buy from Amazon. There will be a manufacturer warranty from other stores and whatever shortterm warranty they offer.That's not true at all, You do not have to buy from amazon. You get that support no matter where you buy from. Mine didn't come from amazon and they replaced it twice even when I broke it. The only difference is the after xmas return length. That is the only difference. You get a full year warranty with complete full support from amazon no matter where you buy it from, so don't give false information. I go on the amazon help forums every day and answer questions to other kindle owners. I know what kind of warranty they give. Amazon doesn't care where it is purchases, they make the product and they give full support of it. They just won't give you your cash back, they will replace it for you though no matter what happens to it. IF they won't replace it free for some reason like you smash it on purpose, the will still give you a low cost replacement.
KC-Traderbear Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 I'm looking at a Kindle Fire for our 9 year old. Wondering whether I should get the 8gb or 16gb. I'm thinking she will just use it mostly for reading, maybe some games and photos. Any advice?

peppysfireball Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 My son is 15 and the 8 has been fine for him. The movies take up about 300mb when in mp4 format. He keeps them on his laptop and changes them occasionally. He mostly streams netflix which takes up no space or watches youtube. Books take up very little space also, only 1-2 mb each.I have 1000 on my kindle and its only half full. I'm looking at a Kindle Fire for our 9 year old. Wondering whether I should get the 8gb or 16gb. I'm thinking she will just use it mostly for reading, maybe some games and photos. Any advice?
lamb616 Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 is the Nook Color at Walmart for $99 any good as a tablet for a 9 year old? Will he be able to play online games. I know Miniclip is his favorite site.

racerfan Posted November 13, 2012 Posted November 13, 2012 How do you find out if they are getting more.

I was thinking of going to Walmart on Saturday after BF and showing them the 3 day sale with the lower price and have friend buy it then with his discount. You can do that cuz I don't know what they are going to be on sale for. The electronics manager told me about the sale and that they are getting more, that's why they don't have many in stock right now. Sent from my iPhone using GottaDeal

I will probably have to pay full price for another Kindle later on so they will have one each. I will also be headed to Walmart Thanksgiving night to get the Nabi 2 for my 6 year old daughter.
peppysfireball Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 That is their standard policy during the holidays. It's been that way several years, YOu can call them and ask if you wish , Do you have a link for the longer return policy?
