In case it slipped your mind, Christmas is now only two days away. If you haven't yet done your Christmas shopping (or perhaps you ordered a nook and don't think the promise of a $100 gift card in the future will make up for no gift under the tree), the Kindle is a the perfect gift for the readers in your family. Today only, Amazon is giving you free overnight shipping (all the way up until MIDNIGHT Eastern Standard Time, according to the countdown clock the site showed me) on the Kindle (Global / International).No doubt some critics will consider Amazon's failure to run out as an indication of a lack of demand (the last two years, they were criticized for running out), but Amazon has consistently reported that the Kindle has been not only the most wished for, but the most highly ordered item in their catalog this holiday season. They must have stockpiled hundreds of thousands of units to guarantee they'd keep up with demand.
Once ordered, don't forget to start grabbing up the free books, as they'll no doubt change again at the first of the year (we may even get a new one for Christmas day, although there is never an guarantee of when they'll show up in the Kindle store). If you are buying the Kindle as a gift, be sure to include a note inside so the recipient can find this blog. They and I will both appreciate it.
