Kindle Samsung users, Free ebook selections for July 2015 are up
If you have a Samsung mobile device (smartphone, tablet), and you are willing to install the Samsung app store (the current name du jour is Galaxy Apps), and install the Samsung version of the Kindle app, then every month you can get a free e-book from a choice of four options. You login to the Kindle app with your regular Amazon account after you install it. The free choices are shown in the menu, under “Samsung Book Deals”. You can get your freebie at any time during each month, just don’t wait until 11:59pm on the last day of the month 🙂
The four choices for July 2015 are:
- “The Shuddering” by Ania Ahlborn (373 reviews)
- “The Laws of Gravity” by Liz Rosenberg (307 reviews)
- “Flee” by JA Konrath and Ann Voss Patterson (226 reviews)
- “Sleeping with Paris (Book #1) in Romance (258 reviews)
All four of these are in Kindle Unlimited, so if you find more than one of the above interesting, you can scoop them up via KU ($10/month Netflix-style subscription).
A trio of tips on how to make the most of this after the break…
Free Samsung Kindle eBook from four choices for June 2015
If you have a Samsung Galaxy device, and you are willing to install the Samsung App Store, and you have a Samsung account to connect it to, every month, you can get free e-book from a choice of four. You can see these by opening the Samsung Kindle app and logging in with your Amazon account. The Samsung version can be installed side by side with the normal Google Play Amazon app, and they each have their own downloaded books.
Samsung Device Owners Get One Free Kindle e-book per month (from choice of four)
If you have a Samsung device, and a Samsung account and use the Samsung Galaxy Apps Android store, and you install the Kindle app from the Samsung app store (not Google Play), you can get one free e-book per month. This is not unconditional, you have a choice between four e-books. The Samsung Kindle app can co-exist with the Google Play Kindle app. I had the Google Play version pre-installed and installing the Samsung version did not interfere. They do not share the same local downloads but obviously share the same cloud library of the same Amazon account.
This promotion is available to everyone with a Samsung and Amazon accounts. You don’t have to be a Prime member. The promotion is independent of the Kindle First promotion and the Kindle Owners Prime Lending Library. You can take advantage of all promotions each month!
A detailed look on how to get the free e-books is after the break…
Seller Refurbished Galaxy Note 3 for $250 (GSM unlocked)
If you can resist the very expensive temptation of the new Note 4 or Edge, and you can be happy with the previous generation Note 3, there’s a pretty tempting offer at the eBay Deals. It is the seller refurbished Galaxy Note 3 offered for $250 (was $295) with free shipping by eBay seller “bidallies” (98.4%) with a limit of five per buyer. Over 7200 of them got sold from this offer so far according to the stats over there. [Price Updated here 5/20/15]
This is described as a B+ Stock, so don’t expect cosmetic perfection. This is model N900, with 32GB on-board storage, factory unlocked, GSM. No contract, which is what makes it tempting. You can use it as a Wifi-only device, or with any compatible GSM provider. The all-important S-Pen and other accessories are included.
Used Samsung Galaxy S3 (Freedom Pop) for $90
If you are looking for the Samsung Galaxy S3 to use as a media player or for experimentation or as a phone with a low cost monthly fee, for a limited time, Groupon Goods is offering the certified pre-owned Samsung Galaxy S3 for the Freedom Pop network, in either blue or white, for $90 with free shipping, with free returns, and a 90 day warranty from Freedom Pop (warranty not from Samsung).
This is a 4G LTE phone which is good, because the Sprint 4G WiMax service that Freedompop relies on is being dismantled and will be dead as a doornail before the end of 2015. Freedompop’s monthly plans include a free option, but when you activate, pay attention to the various 30-day premium feature free trials. If any of those are activated and you don’t need them, you have to manually turn them off if you don’t want to pay any monthly fees. And if that fails, you can always contact customer service and ask them to reverse free-trial-gone-wild charges.
NOTE: this phone is locked to Freedompop. They are the only cellular provider for it. However, you can use it with any Wifi network if you don’t need cellular service.
Refurbished Samsung Galaxy S4 (Verizon) for $170
The smartphone offers never stop on eBay and with good reason, since we now have many capable smartphone generations, especially if you don’t “must have” the latest model. Especially in the case of the Galaxy flagships since the new S6s don’t have microSD and don’t have removable battery. So, among the latest offers, the seller refurbished Samsung Galaxy S4, model i545, for the Verizon Wireless network, is offered for $170 with free shipping, in black or white, by eBay seller “BidAllies” (98.5%). Over 2600 units got sold from this listing so far.
Since this is on Verizon, you don’t have the network flexibility of a GSM phone, so the price is lower. It has 16GB on-board storage, and no contract!
