Just in time for Mother's Day and while they last, Amazon has Refurbished Kindle Fires at $139, as today's Gold Box Deal. This was a very popular sale a couple of months ago and Amazon sold out before the end of the day.In addition, there are Kindle Fire accessories all day as part of the Lightning Deals, so you'll want to check back thru the day to see what other bargains there are. The Marware cover that was $5 off is the exact type of cover I have mine in, so I can prop it up in landscape mode. That offer has expired, but I see another "standing cover" coming up later today, along with a number of other cases and a "desk stand" by Kensington (not on the lightning deals, but very interesting, is this desk stand that lets you keep the charging cord plugged in while using your fire).
Notes on refurbs from Amazon:
These units are usually impossible to tell from brand new (although the Keyboard unit often doesn't ship with the wall charger, buy you can pick one up for under $10 or just charge via your computer) and come with the same warranty from Amazon. You generally can't get the Amazon extended warranty on their refurbished units, but Square Trade has traditionally let buy their extended warranty for refurbs (although I generally recommend against getting a warranty on items like these that are relatively inexpensive and often end up getting replaced by newer technology after a couple of years).
