Free Amazon Prime Shipping for Students

Amazon is extending their free prime shipping offer to all college students with their new Amazon Student program. If you are a student and have a valid .edu email address, you can sign up for a year's free Prime shipping. It can't be shared with other family members, as the regular Prime shipping can, but it also won't cost your $80 for the year. If you are already a Prime member, you can still sign up; you'll get refund of any remaining time on the Prime membership. You'll also get alerts as to other deals aimed at students on that .edu email, such as the current deal (see below) for free music and movies to go with your textbooks.

Don't forget, student or not, today is the last day to get 130 Essential Guides free from Kaplan (KindleB&N, Sony/EPUB or iPad) for free, as well as the last day on the $99 Kobo WiFi Reader!
