Did you buy from Amazon over Christmas? Check to see if you're a WINNER! REDRAW MADE

[Bozza]

It's that time of year again when I try to encourage you to do as much of your Christmas shopping at Amazon, clicking via the link you'll find on every NSC page.

For the unenlightened, the reason I do this is simple: NSC gets some cash from every purchase made this way.

Last year over £17,000 worth of good were ordered from Amazon via NSC's link across November and December, earning NSC over £1000 in affiliate income...

Shopped at Amazon pre-Christmas? Check post #157 to see if you've won some cash

To try and encourage you to do this, as was the case last year, we'll give cash prizes back to 3 purchases drawn at random from NSC's affiliate reporting. Last year prizes of £75, £50 and £25 were given back to NSCers who had purchased via our Amazon link. At least 10% of the money earned will be paid back in this way.

I'll post purchases made here every few days to try and give you gift ideas - I expect there'll be a lot of new Kindles!

The Kindle is superb. A whole library in your bag and allows you to dip in and out of books as it always knows where you read to. Works great in bright sunshine too. Ideally buy the cover with an inbuilt pull-out reading light too - no backlit screen which is why it's so comfortable to use for long spells but, obviously, that means you can't use it in the dark.

Oh and if you have wifi at home, I wouldn't bother with 3G personally. It's pretty rare you need to buy a book in that much of a rush.

1st November it is - game on.

Shop people, shop...

Amazon often have refurbed Kindles available at bargain prices, such as this:

Kindle Keyboard, Wi-Fi, 6 E Ink Display: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store

Don't think I'd ever go for a Kindle, just like turning pages and actually holding a book too much. Pretty sad I know

A LOAD of people WERE going to buy stand-up comedy DVDs.

I would literally DECLINE the affiliate income from a stand-up comedy DVD. The money would feel tainted.

 

[RM-Taylor]
