The Death of Captain Marvel, Two Dollars on Kindle
I recently sung the praises of the first ever Marvel Graphic Novel, The Death of Captain Marvel. That comic… sorry, Graphic Novel (it’s in the title!) is now on sale from Amazon for only two dollars on Kindle.
That’s right! TWO DOLLARS. Reading comics on a Kindle Fire (or an iPad) is a great experience. While I still enjoy comics in print, there is a lot to be said for reading digital comics. For one thing, they don’t take up any room in your house. For another, they are often much cheaper than the print version, and at two bucks, you can’t go wrong. If you’ve never read The Death of Captain Marvel, go buy it now. If you HAVE read The Death of Captain Marvel, go buy it now because it’s really good and you should read it again. Or buy it for your kids. It’s very good and very cheap. What else do you want?

Compare Amazon’s Fire HD 6 $99 Tablets
Thinking about a tablet? In addition to their new kid-friendly Kindle Fire, Amazon has two new Fire HD tablets starting at only $99. Which one is right for you? Here’s a handy-dandy graphic comparing the two new low-priced models. (Note: I’m not sure why Amazon has dropped the Kindle name from the Fire HD, but as far as I can tell they have.)
Both are good options. I can’t say I’ve used either one hands on, but the price is right especially if you are an Amazon Prime member.

Amazon Has a New Kid-Friendly Kindle Fire
Maybe you have an iPad, or an Android Tablet. Or maybe even a Kindle Fire. You love it. So do your kids. They get their greasy fingerprints all over your greasy fingerprints. (Aside: tablets have got to be a germaphobe’s nightmare. All that touching…)
Ideally, if you can afford it, you’d like to get your kid(s) a tablet of their own. Amazon hopes that you will buy their new kid-friendly Kindle Fire.
Called the Fire HD Kids Edition, this is not a kiddie-Kindle. It’s a full-fledged Fire HD, available with either a 6 or 7-inch display. What makes it kid-friendly are the following features:
– A “Kid-Proof Case” is included. Basically it’s a protective bumper-style case that you can buy for existing tablets, but with the Fire HD Kids Edition, you don’t have to buy it separately and you can pick between three different colors — blue, green, or pink. More important is this next bit.
– 2-Year Worry-Free Guarantee. Here is the wording from Amazon.com: “Enjoy the peace of mind with an unprecedented 2-year worry-free guarantee—if they break it, we’ll replace it for free. No questions asked.” That’s huge. Really. Kids break stuff. It happens. Usually you have to pay a bundle for an extended warranty, and if the thing actually does break you have to crawl through broken glass to get them to repair/replace it. A 2-year, no questions asked replacement policy is a sweet thing.
– One Year of Amazon FreeTime Unlimited. Described by Amazon as, “a hand-curated subscription of over 5,000 kid-friendly books, movies, TV shows, educational apps, and games,” this is presumably the razor blade to the Fire razor. Get a year for free, get the kid hooked, then start making your annual tithe to Amazon after the free year is up. There’s no obligation to do so, though. Sometimes parents forget that they can say no.
That said, here are two quotes from Amazon’s site:
“FreeTime is AWESOME. Age appropriate for each kid and the parental controls are priceless. My son has to read books for 30 min each day before it unlocks videos and games.” – Valerie
“I use Kindle FreeTime & it is PERFECT!!!! I can use the apps that FreeTime has, but also add other apps like Angry Birds, Temple Run, etc.” – Whitney
So you can use the tablet yourself when the kids are done with it. That’s handy. Also, as much as I prefer the idea of actually saying “you have to read a book before you can play video games”, the idea of assigning that task to a machine is… well, it’s future-thinking, it’s where we’re headed as a society (at least those who can afford it) and I like the feature. It’s not clear to me if you would still be able to use the Parental Controls/Kindle FreeTime without a subscription.
Bottom line: not a bad price for what looks like a pretty powerful and useful tablet. Available for pre-order now. Read more about it at Amazon.com, and also check out the articles below (which come from other sites and we take no responsibility for their content).

Cheapest Kindle Even Cheaper Today Only
Amazon’s least expensive Kindle is even cheaper, at least for a little while. As of this moment (Tuesday 2/17/13) you can get 20 bucks off the entry-level Amazon Kindle, today only
This is not a Kindle. This is a book. I still read regular books but I also read eBooks on a Kindle. Not at the same time, though.
Note that this deal is being touted by Amazon as “today only,” which for us means “Tuesday, December 17, 2013.” What time-zone is the cut off? Who knows. Your mileage may vary. Also note that the 20 dollar discount is only for the lowest-priced model, the one with “Special Offers”, not any other Kindles. I was a little annoyed about this for roughly thirty seconds before I realized (a) that while I prefer my devices not to have advertising, the Special Offers aren’t that big of a deal, and (b) this is such a First World Problem that I can’t allow myself to whine about it.
Bottom line — actual limited time DaddyDeal here. If you want to save 20 bucks on Amazon’s cheapest Kindle, go forth and make your purchase. Avanti!
Kindle – Best-Selling Ereader on sale — for now, so hurry up and buy it.
