Pre-order the all new Kindle Oasis e-reader starting at $250

Sunday is customarily a day for reading, be it newspapers, magazines, fiction or non-fiction. So the time is right to mention this, Amazon has revealed a brand new Kindle Oasis e-reader starting at $249 (Wifi-only, 8GB on-board storage, with Special Offers).

The 32GB option is +$30 only [not bad if you read manga or other data-hungry files]. To option without the Special Offers is +$20 but you can also remove them later after you start using the device [eg, if you don’t find them annoying or intrusive you can ignore them and use the $20 towards more e-books, eg “The Ruin of Kings”]…

This is available in two color schemes. Amazon also offers accessory bundles with a $30 off combined purchase discount.

NOTE that if you are buying this for someone else or you don’t want them to automatically link it to your purchasing Amazon account, you must needs click the “This is a gift…” link over there. There are multiple places during the checkout process that remind you of this [depending on which device/OS/viewport you are in].

As of the time of writing, your purchase includes a FREE 6-month prepaid Kindle Unlimited subscription. You will receive info via e-mail after Kindle order ships. It only activates if you activate it. Note that this is auto-renewing after the first six months, so leave a note in your calendar. Six months is plenty of time to read many e-books from the KU library!

It’s a Lens Day at the Wednesday B&H Photo daily deals with a six-pack of offers running until 11:59pm ET (or earlier if any of them manages to sell out ahead of its designated expiration time):

+ Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2 for $899 for the Sony E system

+ E-Image 2-Stage Aluminum Tripod with GH03 Head for $159
+ with Dolly for $219

+ UHD 3840 x 2160, OLED, HDR10, Dolby Vision, HLG HDR, Wi-Fi & Ethernet, etc

+ THRUSTMASTER T-GT Racing Wheel for $400

In other daily deals action, at the Amazon USA Gold Box there’s a sale of Estalon laptop bags, an Audeze gaming headphone for $299, a Roomba 860 for $270, and of more practical and mundane interest, various Gilette razors and blades…

Meanwhile at the Best Buy dailies the headliner is the new condition 12.3″ Surface PRO, 6th generation, going for $699. This is without the Pen and without the keyboard-case-thing. It has 8GB RAM (which should really be minimum for any Windows computer without a single core processor), 128GB SSD, Core i5 processor, and things like that…

Having said that, the promise and premise of a Surface is kinda defeated when it is sold without the pen and keyboard-cover ~ you are essentially buying an expensive Windows tablet. When you add the Type Cover, the Pen, and the Moon Dial, the prices goes up up and away.

On the other hand, Surface fans can become Surface households, so they may already have the necessary accessories and they just need more devices. Oops, this is turning into an out of control post, so the time is writing to stop writing in this post, stop writing NOW 🙂

B&H 4-Day Dailies: Powerex Charger + 8pk AA for $20, Lumu Meter, $17 Lowepro Viewpoint

Note that there is a holiday schedule in effect at B&H between Friday 2pm ET and Monday at 10:45pm ET. During that time, orders will not be available. So if you need something to ship quickly, order it before Friday 2pm ET. Otherwise it’s a good opportunity to organize a larger order of things short-term and long-term, capital expenditures and consumables too…

Which brings us to this round of B&H Photo which runs for four calendar days but with online checkout unavailable at the times mentioned above:

+ POWEREX 4-slot Smart Charger with 8pk of Rechargeable AA NiMH Batteries (1.2V, 2600mAh) and car adaptor included for $20
+ NOTE that this is not a quick charger ~ the estimated charge time given in the specs for the included batteries is six hours; thus the lower price but still a great price if you need both the charger and the eight rechargeables

+ Lowepro Viewpoint CS 80 Case for $17

+ LUMU Power Light & Color Meter for Photo and Video for $120

Good until Monday night, the weekend promotion at Discount Mags is a “3 for $12” promotion. You subscribe to three magazines for $12 per year total. That’s $4 per magazine per year.

There are exactly three photography magazines (Digital Photo PRO, Digital Photo and Outdoor Photographer) along with the usual assortment of “six degrees of separation” magazines such as fashion, sports, bridal, nature, architecture, etc…

The duration is either 1 or 2 or 3 years selected for the whole bundle. BUT for each individual magazine you can select whether it is a new subscription or a renewal. So you can mix and match new subs and renewals in the same order…
