My favorite feature by far: many TV shows and movies can be downloaded for offline viewing. The 8.9-inch display runs at an impressive 1,920x1,200 pixels, and it offers the myriad benefits afforded by Amazon's ecosystem - especially if you subscribe to Amazon Prime. Amazon is like Apple when it comes to refurb gear, meaning you get indistinguishable-from-new hardware and the same one-year warranty.Īs for the Fire HD 8.9 itself, in the category of midsize tablets, it's second only to its successor, the HDX. Second, these are refurbished Kindles, which I consider a non-issue. My thoughts: Bring 'em on! Sometimes those offers are quite good (and occasionally exclusive), especially when they're things like free Amazon MP3 or video credit. Now for the "caveats." First, these are the "with Special Offers" versions of the Kindle Fire HD 8.9, meaning you'll see ads on the lock screen. There's no coupon code required assuming you claimed the voucher properly, Amazon will automatically apply it to your cart. As you'll see, you have just two options: 16GB and 32GB. Now shop for one of those refurbished Kindles.(Hopefully it's in the zillions.) Click Apply Code, then proceed through the checkout page. Note that there are a limited quantity of these available, and I'm not sure what that quantity is. Head to Amazon Local and claim your voucher for $50 off a Certified Refurbished Kindle Fire HD 8.9.Now you can get the same device for nearly 1/3 of that price.Here's how to get the deal, followed by some thoughts on why it's awesome-sauce: However if you strongly feel that Kindle 2 is the way to go for you, then by adding $70.00 you can get refurbished Kindle 2 for $219.00.ĮBook reader market has come a long way since originally Amazon Kindle retailed for $399.00 when it was launched two years ago. The only real drawback of K1 I can honestly admit is that page turning buttons are too soft and therefore are prone to be accidentally pressed when you pick up the device.
Personally I like select wheel and cursor bar of K1 better than 5-way controller of K2.Īll in all just like Kindle DX isn’t better or upgraded compared to Kindle 2, Kindle 1 is more different from Kindle 2 rather than inferior or outdated.Not that it would matter, given that K1 just like all other Kindles has free lifetime Internet access.By spending additional $9.90 on 4GB SD card you will get more on-device storage than in Kindle DX.You get same scree resolution as Kindle 2, fewer shades of gray but better contrast according to many users.In one year from now Amazon will likely be out of 1st generation Kindles so warranty exchange will very likely become an upgrade. You still get 1 year warranty from Amazon just like with new Kindle.
