Right now Amazon is selling refurbished Kindles for just $84.99!  For this price you’ll get the 6″ version that comes with special offers – aka commercial screensavers.  We posted about the Special Offer Kindle a few months back and at the time I wasn’t sure how I felt about it.

Before we went on vacation this summer, however, I offered to buy a kindle for my fiance because every time we travel he lugs like 5 huge books around with him.  I told him it was my treat, and since I was treating I bought him the cheapest Kindle possible, which is the one with the deals.  Truthfully – it’s a GREAT option.  The deals only appear in the screensaver, which is what appears on the screen when you’re not using it.  We’ve seen lots of ads for Amazon, and even car ads.  There was even a $10 off an Amazon purchase coupon that popped up.

Truthfully – I think the ads are more interesting than what I get on my non-sponsored Kindle, which are pictures of authors.

If you’re considering snagging a Kindle, I highly recommend taking the cheaper route and getting the sponsored version.  And now that you can get it for even less? Go for it!

If you are wary of refurbished items, I have purchased many in my time with great success.  A lemon could always sneak in there, but the same could be said about new products.  Generally speaking, you’re never going to know that you’ve received a refurb product.

ALSO – huge news was released this week that Kindle users are going to love: You can now borrow Kindle books from your library!  This is HUGE news.  The only downside?  I live in a big city and it seems as though our public library currently has every e-book rented already and the waitlist is huge.  Also strange?  The number of Harlequin Romance Novels on the list.  But who knows – maybe you’ll have better luck with your library!

Thanks to SwagGrabber for the heads up on this deal!
