Cyber Monday Beating Out Black Friday?

I wouldn’t go so far as to say people don’t absolutely love the excitement of hitting the stores on Black Friday but let’s face it, Cyber Monday is much more convenient for some of us. The only difference in terms of price slashes and discounts between Black Friday and Cyber Monday is that one of these events allows you to shop from home. Which one? Obviously, Cyber Monday is, right? What makes Cyber Monday so great? Well for one, there are many times that we have every intention of dragging ourselves out the day after Thanksgiving to shop but just cannot muster the energy to do so. That turkey and its Tryptophan can really do a number on us!

Then of course we cannot forget those who just cannot make it out of their homes for a variety of reasons and for them Cyber Monday is the best thing since sliced white bread! So what is it that happens on Cyber Monday? It’s simple! Stores all over the world participate in amazing deals on everything from iPads, iPod Touch, PS3 systems, Xbox 360 systems and of course all of the games that go with them.

If you are not into gaming systems then do not worry as there is almost nothing that cannot be found on Cyber Monday at a really amazing discounted price. So whether it is a PlayStation 3 you want to buy for your child or a brand new big screen television for yourself, Cyber Monday is going to be the best time of year to do that. Lately statistics have shown that far more people are shopping on Cyber Monday than on Black Friday and every year those numbers seem to rise. Don’t miss out this year on all the great deals you can find on Cyber Monday.

The hustle and bustle of the holidays often takes us by surprise and hits us out of nowhere. Some of us are just shocked at how quickly the year goes by. With preparing a nice Thanksgiving dinner, cleaning the mess, seeing your guests off and everything else associated with the feast, it is easy to forget Black Friday.

Fortunately, if for some reason you were unable to go about shopping on the biggest shopping day of the year, Cyber Monday is a great alternative. In fact, there are some people who swear Cyber Monday is even better for great savings than Black Friday. Some stores list the same sale items they had on shelves on Cyber Monday to give shoppers one last chance to take advantage of the sale.

There are some stores which are for online shoppers only such as Amazon and E-Bay. Even sites such as those participate in Cyber Monday. You can find items that are reduced in price by as much as 80% in some cases! Cyber Monday is an excellent event for people who are homebound, snowed in or for some other reason cannot get out of the house.

While most of the online store do stock up sufficiently for the amount of orders they will receive on Cyber Monday, it is a good idea to start shopping as early as possible to be sure you do not get put on back order. You want to be sure all of your merchandise arrives in time for Christmas!

Of course, not everyone who shops on Cyber Monday is doing it for the purpose of stocking up on Christmas presents. Even people who do not celebrate Christmas participate in Cyber Monday simply because it is the best day of the year to find online discounts on much needed items.

Surely Best Buy has put out some good deals on Black Friday and they even opened their doors early for thrift shoppers this holiday season. But why would you want to even leave your house today to face crowds traffic and weather, when you can get same or better deals online.

Black Friday week is in full swing and competition is fierce between Kindles and their competitors. There is a Kindle for everyone. That includes people purchasing a Kindle for the first time, veteran Kindle owners looking for the latest generation e-reader, and customers who want a more multipurpose device.

The Kindle is a basic e-reader with 2GB of space, and comes with the option to include special offers or not. It goes for $79 and $109. The super low prices have already initiated quick response from Barnes & Noble and other competitors. For those that prefer a keyboard, Amazon is still making its 3rd generation Kindle, now called Kindle Keyboard available with Wi-Fi only, 3G, Wi-Fi with special offers, and 3G with special offers. Prices range from $99-$189. Both the Kindle and Kindle Keyboard are great for those who just want a device mainly for reading, and also want physical buttons to use for navigation and page turns.

The Kindle Touch is the latest generation in e-reader technology. Like the Kindle Keyboard, it ranges from $99-189 depending on wi-fi, 3G, and special offers. It is the first ever touch screen version of the Kindle, and is getting highly favorable reviews now that It has finally been released to Amazon customers. It is a little bit bigger than the Kindle 4, and can hold about 3000 books, and has a 2 month battery charge. Everything is done via the touch screen, except for one home button at the bottom. The Kindle Touch is Amazon’s response to the release of the touch screen versions of the Nook and Kobo earlier this year. It certainly bear’s Amazon’s trademark top quality design and new features that are not offered elsewhere.

The Kindle Fire was shipped at the same time as the Kindle Touch, and is showing favorable reviews so far, overall. It is a tablet similar to the NookColor, and is an excellent device for watching videos, reading magazines, browsing the internet, or playing games. After debuting at $199, Barnes & Noble followed suit with a $199 NookColor, and released a newer generation of the device, so the completion is definitely fierce. You can take a look at current deals here.

Amazon has bestowed the Kindle namesake onto a basic and inexpensive, yet powerful e-reader. The Kindle no longer has a keyboard, but it includes the 5-way toggle button that has been present on all previous generation Kindles. A common description among reviewers is “minimalist”, but it serves its intended audience well.

The Kindle includes wi-fi only, but comes with the option to have special offers or not. Without special offers, this version goes for $109. It includes 2GB of space, which means it can hold around 1500 books. That is about half the amount of the Kindle Touch and the Kindle Keyboard, however, there is always Amazon storage backup.

With the basic Kindle priced lower than any of the competing e-readers such as the Nook or Kobo, it will be a great gift for readers of all ages. More customers are being drawn to the Kindle than ever before, and this version is an excellent introductory e-reader. Many of the games already out have been developed for compatibility with the Kindle 4. It wouldn’t be surprising to see a huge Kindle game sale happen.

For all Amazon Black Friday deals, make sure to bookmark the official Black Friday Deals page. Right now, there are discounts on various Amazon products. Lightning deals are year round, and so are daily deals. Amazon has been known to include Kindle deals through these outlets, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to key a close eye on them.

In addition to the Kindle 4, Amazon offers the Kindle Touch and Kindle Fire. They are in direct competition with the Nook and Kobo equivalents. The Kindle 3, now known as the Kindle Keyboard is still a big part of the Kindle Family, and appeals to those who prefer a physical keyboard.
