Prime Day

I can’t navigate the Amazon website because of the heavy volume.

Does anyone know if any Kindle allows audio downloads other than Audible (like Overdrive from the library)?

Yes, I’ve downloaded audio and regular books from overdrive on my kindle.

Ordered a Kids Edition Kindle for my granddaughter. Earlier, I tried to get an Instantpot for DIL but it kept saying unavailable. I just went back on now and was able to buy it. Hopefully it goes through.

I’m debating buying an Instapot for my D for her birthday or Christmas. I bought mine 2 years ago on Prime Day. I suppose $58 is a decent price? - can’t imagine finding it for less!

saved on a X-large USA cookie sheet with rack and an infant rocker --both I planned on buying soon.

Went on a splurge and ordered the Flexispot Desk Bike. Hopefully I can lose weight while working on my computer.

@abasket - $58 is a great price for an Instapot.

Just out of curiosity, what’s the fascination with these Instapots?

Additional 20% off (up to cumulative savings of $100) with an Amex if you use 1 more more Amex reward dollars to pay for your purchase. I also had the Whole Foods $10 rebate so my Instapot was only $30.

I don’t know if it was a mistake or not, but by signing up for an Amazon credit card, I received $50 off my purchase. When asked to pay, I used my regular credit card.

@bookworm fwiw, I love my prime card. I use it constantly.

I went on the Amazon app’s customer service and clicked “call me”. Phone rang immediately and after only a minute or so on hold, I got a representative. FYI she sounded like possibly a college confidential DD on her summer internship. After two lengthy consultations with her supervisor, she agreed my $10 Whole Foods credit should have been applied but wasn’t, and that they would put a regular $10 credit on my Amazon account to use any time. I’m pretty sure she said I was going to get an email with that info but may have misunderstood; so far nothing. If it works, I’ll be impressed.

Thinking back, I now vaguely remember trying to buy a telescope last year on Prime Day and it being cancelled because they didn’t have enough. Hmm.

DS said there were problems up and down Amazon today, not just with Prime Day ordering, but agrees it was almost certainly triggered by Prime Day’s start. He was happy to be in a training session . And Amazon was probably lucky that other news kicked them off the top headlines…

Pulled the trigger on an Instapot - one of my three kids will get it for Christmas/birthday! Also picked up some wireless earbuds. Will share the Tile deal with my son - I’ve bought him Tiles twice now - he knows the value of them - time for him to get his own!!

That may be it for me!

My only problem with the tile after I researched it, is that they are only good for a year. The reviews are really bad

My son’s original Tile lasted for almost 2 years - as someone who is prone to losing things - that was still worth the “insurance” of having it.

I did see another brand while I was searching Tile brand on Amazon - can’t remember what it was though!

What size instantpot is $58?

I don’t have Prime…but thumper kids do! Maybe one of them wants one.

The 6 quart - that’s the size I have - full sized. I bought mine on Prime Day two years ago for $69! I think it will be a good Christmas gift.
