These days, finances are tight for the majority of the population. Great deals can be had by shopping online, but it’s often unclear if you’ve put in the required time to thoroughly research the product and ensure you’ve found the best price.
Instead of manually perusing discount aggregators like RetailMeNot, a new browser extension will automate the process for you. Read more
I love me some reading. Between a retina-display iPad, an e-ink Kindle (for novels), and my trusty Audible app, I’m like a pig in mud. No matter where I go, no matter what I’m doing, I can be learning something new or drifting off into some mesmerizing new place. Yet, what good are these devices if you don’t have some sweet, new content to load onto them.
Sure, you could capture online articles with Pocket, buy e-books from Amazon, or sign up for an Audible account, but what if funds are low and you need something to scratch that literary itch? Today’s tip will show you how to score some freebies from the Interwebs favorite audiobook site. Read more

Reading is one of my favorite hobbies and is something I take very seriously. As a lover of all things tech, the advent of highly mobile devices (e.g., iPads, Android phones, and, of course, Kindles) has been a boon for those that have an insatiable appetite for information. Gone are the days of carrying around giant textbooks and capacious tomes.
Now, you can carry around hundreds of books in a small, portable, and affordable device that enables the indulgence of this most edifying hobby at almost any time. Yet, although they are often cheaper than their physical counterparts, e-book purchases can still add up pretty quickly. Whether you are a voracious reader or are just on a tight budget, you should be aware of several ways you can obtain free, e-book content online. Read more
I love Amazon.com, so any software or utility that can help me better utilize the service is sure to pique my interest. Odds are you use (and perhaps, LOVE) the retailer, as well, so let’s dive in and see what today’s tip has to offer. Read more
One of my favorite gadgets that has significantly improved the quality of my life is the plain, old, tried and true, e-ink Kindle. It doesn’t play video, you can’t install apps on it or play Angry Birds, but it does one thing exceptionally well: display crisp, legible text that can be read outdoors, like a champ. In addition, it’s affordable, highly portable, and a battery charge lasts for weeks.
But, what good is a Kindle without content? If you spent the last of your hard-earned dough on a new Kindle, you might want to check out Zero Dollar Books. Read more
If you were born in the early 1980s or later, you might be at the point in your life where you are starting to feel overwhelmed with all the physical media you have been lucky enough to collect over the course of your lifetime. Since much of this content can either be converted to digital formats or re-purchased as digital media (and capacious hard drives are dirt cheap), you may be tempted to remove this physical onus from your life.
If you’re ready to commit to a digital lifestyle, Amazon is willing to help you make the transition. Read more

As an inveterate student, I know of the egregious costs of a traditional education. One of the most gut-wrenching experiences is when you return to the bookstore at the end of a semester to sell back unneeded textbooks, only to discover that your like-new tomes are no longer wanted or only fetch a fraction of their original price.
If you value your hard-earned money and you’d like some assistance navigating this torturous process, read on. Read more
Amazon is a worldwide, retail powerhouse that, while not admirable in every way, has revolutionized the way people consume goods and services. One negative aspect of their purchase process is that if you live outside of the United States, you may occasionally find that after you have gone through the checkout process, the item you are purchasing can’t be shipped to your country.
Today’s tip covers an extension that aims to prevent this annoyance from ever happening again. Read more
For many lucky people in the world, quality electronic devices have become commodity items. Gone are the days when you would have the same portable media player or mobile phone for years, as a continual process of upgrading devices is now the norm.
While you may have the option to trade-in your device to the provider you purchased it from, you are probably better off trying to sell it on your own, e.g., via Craigslist or eBay. For some, even this may be too much of a hassle. While you can utilize an excellent service, such as Gazelle, many sellers may seek the comfort of a more universally known brand name.
Amazon.com is going to make you a happy camper. Read more
