Apple and Amazon Launch Black Friday Price War
An anonymous reader writes Forbes magazine points out that tablet computers are receiving some of the biggest discounts for this year's day-after-Thanksgiving sales. "With slowing growth in the tablet market and an increasing array of choices, some of the strongest bargains will come in that sector," they report, noting that Target is giving away a $140 gift card with purcahses of an iPad Air 2 (and a $100 gift card with the iPad Mini or first-generation iPad Air). But Amazon has already launched a counter-strike, posting big discounts online on Thanksgiving day for their entire line of Kindles, including a black-and-white Kindle for just $49, and their 6-inch color/high-definition HD6 for just $79.
For sufficiently loose definitions of "all".
The Kindle Voyage does not appear to be included in this sale, which is a shame.

for black Friday spam. just come to Slashdot.
Paying taxes to buy civilization is like paying a hooker to buy love.
I already have a couple hundred Kindles, but I'll probably buy more.
let them war without me, I will be hanging Christmas lights and playing carols on my original iPod mini through fine 70s/80s stereo equipment.
if this is supposed to be a new economy, how come they still want my old fashioned money?
Kindles, like smartphone apps, are just ways to try to get you to buy things.
Dope will get you through times of no money better than
money will get you through times of no dope.
( Before the people who take life too seriously get excited,
the above is a joke. However - a couple of teenage hookers
and a half ounce of blow is NO joke, you should try it some time. )
Happy Thanksgiving, and remember : If a cop tries to arrest you, :-))))))
and you try to take the cop's gun away, you just might end up
dead.
Sponsored links at the bottom of the page a la Buzzfeed, special deals, a marketing poll, Flash ads out the wazoo.
Fuck Dice.
Only losers who subscribe to the obscene materialism religion give a shit. They will probably get trampled and shot and stalked and threatened for buying up the last items on Amazon.
For me, Friday is "Buy Nothing Day", because I want nothing to do with the fanatic consumerist shit.
I don't like ads either, but the pleasure I get from you people watching your little commie paradise here getting violated is immeasurable.
Except to reply to Slashdot posts claiming to not care about it, of course.
Could Slashdot "purcahse" some better editors?
Please buy our crap. Pretty please?
We just want to make our money off your app store purchases.
Look, we'll give you the thing for cost if you'll just buy our crap.
*LOL*
I do not fail; I succeed at finding out what does not work.
Be sure to let us know about any actually good deals. Of course, by the time we read about them here, they'll be sold out. But you'll post 'em twice anyway.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
Nice typo, Timothy. :P
Ant(Dude) @ Quality Foraged Links (AQFL.net) & The Ant Farm (antfarm.ma.cx / antfarm.home.dhs.org).
The Target deal, as well as a $100-off iPads deal at Best Buy, were nothing more than the usual doorbuster, limited-to-[unspecified]-stock-on-hand, no rainchecks, bait-and-switch Black Friday crap. In fact, they were sold out on Thursday in my area, because now the stores are open on Thanksgiving. So if you showed up at 5am Friday to battle parking and stand in a long line in freezing rain for two hours, you were just screwed.
This raises the next objection to retail stores being open on Thanksgiving, beyond it ruining the holiday for store employees and just impinging on Thanksgiving in general. Now, if you're the Black Friday shopper type, it's not a matter of getting up at a ridiculously early hour Friday morning to get a deal - you're gonna miss out! Nor is it a matter of popping off for an enjoyable evening of shopping Thursday evening after stuffing yourself. No, now to get any of those advertised deals, you need to skip Thanksgiving dinner and run off to stand in line Thursday afternoon. But I suppose we're not to worry. Eventually, the stores will be open all day Thanksgiving, and everyone will go shopping at 5am Thursday, in plenty of time to get home for Thanksgiving dinner.
