Now there’s enough fiction and non-fiction at Kindle Unlimited where you can strategically sign-up for a few months in a row, devour all interesting and potentially-interesting ebooks, then cancel, and a few months/years later, sign-up again, devour new additions, rinse and e-peat…

B&H Photo will be re-opening for orders on Monday night, but in the meantime, Aluratek has a couple of slots in the Monday Best Buy daily deals with their 10.1″ LCD digital picture frame going for $50 and their 15.6″ LCD Wifi model going for $155…

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…
