News:
1. Amazon's Black Friday Deals - As predicted Amazon did not offer any discounts on the Wifi or 3G Kindle in the UK; in the US, they sold off "thousands" of old stock Kindle 2s. Amazon clearly does not need to lower the price of the Kindle although a £99 price point in the UK might make the Kindle seem that bit more appealing. Amazon sold thousands of other items at discounted prices, this could really be the beginning of the American tradition moving to the UK. Meanwhile until Monday you can get £20 off £60 at Javari.co.uk - the Amazon owned footwear retailer, with free 24-hour shipping, if you click here and use coupon code "JAVMODEL." You can also get £2 free to spend on MP3s when you spend £10 in the Amazon music store located here.

In facet Amazon.it is offering 1 year of Amazon Prime membership for under ten euros which guarantees delivery within two to three days.
