If this is only about apps and the Fire Smartphone, this is definitely yawn_worthy..
REALLY???
So when shall we be getting the rest? You know, like buying books (Hard, Soft or KINDLE, anyone?), electronics, appliances, vouchers, etc – the really good stuff.
Apps? Got iOS or G.Playstore for that. This offer from Amazon: not good enough.
Total BS.
Alec,
You can buy hardcopy books.
I have been doing so for the last 5 years,
and I have them shipped to me here in
Nigeria.
Yes, 5 Years.
