mp3 downloads are to iTunes as ebook downloads are to Amazon.com -- At least that's what Jeff Bezos wants you to think.
The new Amazon Kindle ebook reader device is a big hit so far with the geek squad.
But to get the masses excited about this product, Amazon and Chase are running a promotion that gives you an extra $100 off the promotional price of the Kindle reader.
I haven't yet seen the Kindle in person, but it's gotten rave reviews:
It looks like there's 2 parts of this discount for the Kindle Reader Device. $70 promotion code + $30 Amazon Chase Visa card promo. Don't know if they are mutually exclusive or must be used in combination....but here's the fine print -- which looks like the $70 can be used separately.

Everyone has great SAT test scores. Everyone has leadership on their resume. Everyone has volunteer experience that makes your heart melt. They are team captains and olympic-bound athletes. Yes, your kid is the perfect kid....for Harvard, Princeton or any other school of you choice. But will the Admissions committee see that in the application, essays and interviews?
Here's one differentiator still on the plate for high school juniors to take advantage of -- an enlarged worldview.
Most Juniors are so busy with cramming, studying, and shining in so many ways that they forget about the world around them -- literally.
How to cure this deficit? READ THE NEWSPAPER.
Time and time again, essays and conversations in interviews easily show those students that are "a more advanced" in their maturity. And one way is to get your kid to read the Wall Street Journal daily. They'll quickly become versed in some of the "adult" things in life from the great articles in the Personal Journal section. They'll also be up to date on global news and issues from the rest of the paper.
It will be some of the best dollars you spend on their education. Get the paper delivered, get them to read it daily for a month or two and you'll see. It is quite amazing.
Here's a great deal for students getting ready to get back to campus: Unlimited free 2-day express shipping on any item sold by Amazon.com -- including textbooks.
The 1st month is free, which means you'll get all your fall semester books express shipped to you completely free. After that, it's still worth it at $79/year for unlimited express shipping across all product categories on Amazon (even Amazon Groceries!).
The trial is completely free, so you can buy a bunch of stuff this month and not pay a single penny for shipping. Which then means that most items are REALLY competitive in pricing compared to local stores.
Also, if you need overnight delivery, it's just $3.99 for ANY SIZE order via express mail overnight delivery.
Ok, this was kind of like a once in a lifetime deal.
Microsoft Office ULTIMATE suite (the largest, most robust version of Office) for 91% off retail price. That meant getting all of MS Office - Word, Excel Powerpoint, Endnote, Outlook, Frontpage, Groove, etc for only $59 total.
But I guess sometimes lightning strikes twice because this deal is back.
Currently, I am using my Microsoft Office Ultimate package on both my laptop and desktop (legal to install this on 1 laptop and 1 desktop PC) at home. And at $59 for a completely legal and full version of the software is sweeeet!
Now you can too. I would categorize this as one of those MUST-BUYS if you qualify. . .

A good excuse to take out that old roll of film stuck in your old non-digital camera to be developed. I bet you don't even know what's on that roll of film since it's been sitting inside your 35mm camera for so long!
