I still want that Kindle Fire... (I am so addicted to gadgets...it's sad)

I'm probably going to be selling my Kobo and my Kindle 2, or giving them away to family members...depends on whether the people I want to gift them to want an ereader.

My cellphone died this afternoon, so my dad and I just got back from "buying" Android phones. ("free" phone at the Sprint kiosk in Sam's Club...the $36 activation fee doesnt really make me think it was "free" tho) We cant go without phones here. My mom is starting to get a bit of dementia or something and so my dad and I pretty much have to be able to call each other. We try to always have someone with her.

So, the "free" phone just took away some of the available money for the Kindle Fire that I want. I really would like to be one of the first to get the Fire, but maybe I will wait a few weeks/months before I get one (just in case it fails miserably when it gets released in November). See if my credit card points can accumulate some more so I can get an Amazon gift card and see how much change I can save in my Penny Cow bank. Maybe if I go to a Coinstar machine at the right time, I can get an Amazon card there too.

It might be kind of fun to be able to buy a Kindle Fire from loose change that I save. (that's how I save up for Kindle books, I get Amazon gift cards from Coinstar when I cash in my loose change) I dont have to save up that much, I could probably get the new Kindle Touch with my loose change and credit card points right now, so I dont have far to go to be able to afford the Kindle Fire. I'd prefer the Fire over the Kindle Touch... Hopefully it wont take long to save up the rest. Might be interesting to see how quick my loose change accumulates.
