Speaking of Amazon, while browsing around in their Kindle ebook pages, you may see an offer for a $5 ebook credit when you spend $20+ in Kindle ebooks between January 22-28 in 2019. This offers requires a login to see, and after you login, you have to activate it before it goes live. Thus, no direct link to the offer, but if you start browsing around the Kindle pages, you may see it. I don’t know if it is targeted or not…

Look for this mini banner on top of Kindle-related Amazon product pages:

For EU shoppers, one of the Amazon Germany deals du jour is a sale on Acer computer monitors ranging from 127 to 289 euros. Euros is short for euro-dollars 🙂 #FakeNews

Tuesday is upon us and we begin with a delayed daily-deals round-up starting of course avec les B&H Foteaux deals du jour as follows:

If you like the thrill of a Woot-OFF, the Clearance (formerly Sellout) and Gourmet sub-Woots are having their very own Woot-OFFs at the Woot website…

Adobe offers often make the “rounds” on various retailer websites and this time around it’s the Best Buy deals du jour offering the Photoshop Elements 2019 software for $65… They also have a 33-pack of mixed-size single-use Insigna-brand alkaline-batteries for $11…

Adorama is running another “snapshot deal”, a cross between a daily-deal and a limited-time offer, this time around being the new condition Ready Rig GS Stabilizer + ProArm Kit with Case going for $1999 with free shipping and handling…

Inside the offers at the Amazon USA Gold Box you can find for a limited time the new condition Fire HD 8 tablet going for $50 in the entry-point configuration of 16GB on-board storage [that’s small but look at the price ~ and they also have a microSD slot] with Special Offers, with 1.5GB RAM, etc. This is marked as the “All New” model and I’ve fallen behind on which Fire tablet came out when, so Wikipedia is your best Fire-y friend for these matters. Once upon a time I had the original Fire tablet, which, tech-trivia factoid, had the same outer shell as the Blackberry Playbook. Back when Blackberry made …tablets!?!?!?

For the European Union shoppers, Amazon Germany is having an “up to 20% off” sale on a variety of AmazonBasics products ~ use the various sub-category tabs over there to filter by areas/topics of interest…
