Amazon Kindle Fire eReader w/7in multi-touch display for $130

Oct 2, 2012 12:48 PM

Original Amazon Kindle Fire, pages and pages of them this morning. I audited just a few pages of listings and spotted several grade 6 offers. I'm probably in for two when I get back to my desk in a couple of hours. Christmas is coming, after all.

Easy to root with XDA stuff (took me about 5 minutes once I found the correct files) for access to GoogleMarket and Google apps, gadget will dual-boot after rooting too.

@portezbie: Not sure about the Base Kindle 2, but the HD was rooted pretty quickly

If you are planning to use it as a kindle than yeah, you're better off waiting for refurbs of the new one or just buying the new one.

However the new one is proving harder to hack so if you want it as a $130 jellybean tablet once you've rooted it, then its not too bad of a deal.

I would probably hold out and see how they do hacking the new nook, or just get a nexus.

@homiejome: Yeah, $30 away from the Gen 2 and $70 away from the HD? Can't say this is much of a deal.

@j5: Old version. In the specs it lists 512MB of ram. The new version has 1 gig.

Which version is this?
The new fire is $159 direct from Amazon and has twice the RAM and a faster CPU.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
