Topic: Loving me some Amazon this afternoon

I just bought a Galaxy Tab.  One of the ones that came out a couple years ago, not the new one.  It was through an auction site for used equipment, and it is listed as not having the USB/power cable.  I went to the Samsung site and they wanted $50 for the USB and charging cord, plus shipping costs.  I went to Amazon and got two of the cords, a leather case with built-in bluetooth keyboard, and a card reader so I can load photos and stuff more easily for $35 including shipping. 

That's some good savings.

Re: Loving me some Amazon this afternoon

I'm dry and warm.  I have no idea what the weather is here today because I've been down in my hidey hole (office) all day.  There was snow on the ground this AM and the kids had a 2 hour delay to the start of school.  But I think the rest of the day hasn't been too bad.  At least, I haven't seen any critters come down into the window well to get out of the rain like they do when the wind and rain are going strong.   

It kind of freaks me out when the feral cats climb down in there and stare at me like I might taste good.

Re: Loving me some Amazon this afternoon

i've been thinking about one of those tabs. since the first ones came out with (i think) the 10 inch screen, they've now brought out a 7 inch screen which i think seems more portable, and a much more wallet friendly price about £150 here in the UK for a kindle fire.
i wholeheartedly agree with you about amazon. i ran out of printer inks two weeks back, on other sites the best price was around £40 + for black and colour cartridges, amazon was only £18 for the two and delivered in a couple of days.

Re: Loving me some Amazon this afternoon

On the tablets, it's to support my camping obsession.  I usually take a backpack full of songs, and another backpack full of books, plus a laptop computer, when I take the family camping.  I'm hoping that at under 2lbs and less space than a legal pad, even a currently almost obsolete tablet will replace all of that.

Re: Loving me some Amazon this afternoon

Way to go Zurf.  I have a tablet and keep all my songs on it.  Very easy to use.  Take it camping with me.  Good luck.
