If you think printing is fun-da-mental, the Tuesday 5/2/23 Adorama daily deal is the new condition Fujifilm Instax Link Wide Smartphone Printer, in the Mocha Gray color scheme, offered for $90…
Tuesday: Lens Bag, GVM BiC Wands, Shape Tripod, Kindle e-readers, Etc
Tuesday is here with a 7+1 formation in the B&H Photoo daily deals as followz:
+ PortaBrace LB-1B Lens Bag (Black) for $149~
+ because the lenses deserve their very own dedicated BAG the LENS BAGS!
+ GVM BD25R Bi-Color RGB LED Light Wands, 24-inch for $169 or 48-inch for $300
+ you get more inches per $ with the 48-inch option 😉
+ Shape Pro Video Carbon Fiber Tripod with 100mm Bowl & Fluid Head (33 lb Payload) for $999~
+ or you can buy 99 Ritz Camera $10 tripods 😉
+ SmallRIG cases for BlackMagic cameras, two options, $47 to $59
+ Vello COOLTOOL Camera Plate Combo Tool for $5
+ also: Samson mic and PC Mover software
+ flash deal: Sunpak Mobile Vlogging Kit with Tripod & Accessories for $20
+ yes, ideal for Accessories Hoarders 🙂
MEANwhile the headliner Woot deal of the day is another variant of the refurbished Kindle eBook reader sale with prices starting at $20. These come with a 90-day warranty, unlike the certified refurbished sold at the Amazon website (for more) that come with a 1-year warranty.
As regular readers know, I have a little bit of a Kindle fetish soft spot 😉 The sale includes “basic” Kindles, Paperwhites and Oasis models. If I needed/wanted an e-reader from this sale, I would go for the 2018 Paperwhite (starting at $40) or the 2019 “basic” Kindle (starting at $30) or Oasis models. I had the 2015 Paperwhite ($20) a few years ago and it was already getting too slow, so unless you have the patience of a saint or are buying a specific price point, or you plan on reading lightweight ebooks (eg poetry, smaller ebooks without graphics, etc), I’d go with the more recent / less older models.
The sale also includes a bunch of Fire tablets ranging from $15 (yes, $15 for a color tablet) to $70. I bought the original “Kindle Fire” tablet on the hype train excitement of that time, but haven’t followed with them closely since. The last few years I’ve been using smaller touchscreen Chromebooks as tablet stand-ins.
Having said that, the price is definitely right, especially if you are part of the Amazon media ecosystem (Prime Videos, Kids programs, Kindle Unlimited reading, Amazon Music, non-stop Prime shopping, etc, etc, etc).

Thur: 10.1″ Fire HD 10 tablet for $90 [2021, 32GB, 1080p]
Both the B&H Photo dailies [check the previous post], and the Adorama dailies remain the same as before for Thursday 4/13/23…
Once upon a time tablets were a thing of wonder, I remember getting excited about a …Pandigital Android 2.1 (IIRC) tablet that was on a big sale at Radio Shack close to $100. Performance was a Jedi training session in patience 🙂
Now tablets have become normal and normalized and very utilitarian. Especially if you live in the Amazon media ecosystem (Prime videos, music, e-books, etc), today’s the day because they are offering the new condition 10-inch Fire HD 10 tablet (2021 model, 32GB storage, 1080p) for $90, with up to two per customer at the sale price!
This is available in four color schemes, making it easier if you have multiple of these in the same household – the gear color-coding theory! This is the model with the Lockscreen Ads. Or you can select it without, and that’s a +$15, making it $105.
PS: if you buy the Lockscreen Ads option, you can also remove the ads in the future by paying a one-time fee.
PS2: keep in mind, this does not support the Google Play store. You use Amazon’s own App Store (TM Apple LOL).
PS3: if you want to fill up your new FireHD tablet or any other Kindle e-reader or any other device that has a Kindle app, Amazon is running a Must Reads ebook sale with 130+ options. This is separate from their Kindle daily deals…
