Amazon Kindle Fire on Free Two-Day Shipping

Tweet

Christmas is just a few days away, and whether you celebrate the occasion or not, a lot of people take this opportunity to buy gifts and gadgets for themselves and loved ones. If you’re eyeing a Kindle for yourself or your folks, Amazon is offering free two-day shipping on these gadgets during the holiday rush.

The holidays are often rife with delayed packages, lost Christmas cards and maxed out credit cards. But just so you make sure you get what you buy just in time for unwrapping of presents, you can order from Amazon and get your purchase in two days’ time, with shipping free of charge. Customers who order by 8:00 P.M. Pacific time on December 21st get their item with free two-day shipping anywhere within continental U.S. The following Kindle devices are eligible:

• Kindle Fire – $199
• Kindle Touch 3G – $149
• Kindle Touch – $99
• Kindle – $79

Users who are planning to stuff their loved ones’ stockings with other items can still get the free shipping offer as long as their order includes any Kindle device. But with the Kindle Fire reportedly selling like hotcakes this quarter, we’re pretty sure gadget geeks, ebook lovers and kids would love to have their hands on Amazon’s latest 7-inch Android tablet offering.

Apart from Kindles, customers can also send Kindle e-books as gifts this holiday season. Amazon says users can choose a specific date for the e-book to be delivered. A recipient does not even need a Kindle to read the book. Anyone with an email address (and the Kindle software) can read these e-books. Of course, Kindle users get to receive their e-books magically on their Kindle readers on the date specified through Whispersync.

Are you planning to give someone a Kindle this Christmas? Or are you planning to buy other brands, such as the Apple iPad 2?
