Kindle Apps and Games Sale - 99 Cents

There are several apps and one game on sale in the Kindle store for 99 cents right now. The first one is SCRABBLE, by Electronic Arts Inc., which I gladly paid $4.99 for when it first came out. This is a great deal (and I love this game, which you can play with others or against the computer). If you, like me, have already bought this one, then go get the (free) update, as they promise the graphics are improved. The price goes back up at the end of the month.

Game Description
Simple controls make it easy to play any way you want, whether you're a casual or experienced SCRABBLE player. Pass N' Play with a friend, challenge the Kindle, or play a solo game. If you need help, use the Best Word feature to create the highest scoring word possible. You can even pause the game anytime and pick it up later.

Follow your progress game by game with instant statistics tracking. As your game-play and strategy improves, you'll find more ways to rack up double and triple word scores. Enjoy the number one name in crossword games, and sharpen your vocabulary in a fun new way.


The three apps on sale are from Nickel Buddy and are designed to help you keep on track with your exercise programs. These are half-price and will go back to $1.99 after June 6.

My Yoga Studio (A Yoga Partner on Kindle)
My Yoga Studio is like having a personal yoga teacher on your Kindle.

There are many benefits to practicing yoga. Done properly, yoga can help you increase your strength, flexibility, and balance. It can improve your posture as you become more aware of your body, and it can help you relax, even in the midst of a stressful environment.

My Yoga Studio will guide you step-by-step through a series of poses illustrated with a picture and a text description. As you move through the routine, a timer will count down, showing you how long to hold each pose before gently transitioning to the next. 25 different poses are included. You can use one of three included routines (Sun Salutation, Stress Melter, or Balance & Peace), do poses individually, or create your own custom routine. Exercises are designed to strengthen your core, and do not require any special equipment. As you can do these exercises anywhere you have floor space, My Yoga Studio is a perfect companion for frequent travelers or home use.
