Did you know that Amazon has Coupon Codes? Mostly for grocery items and personal care/beauty items, there are also coupon codes for Movies & TV and even Books. These are easy to use - just click the coupon on the product page before you order (which you can do then or any time before the coupon expires, once you have clicked to add it to your checkout); there are no promotion codes to enter for these.

What do those letters mean at the end of the titles on posts? They tell you the format/store where a book is available.

K - Kindle/Amazon
N - nook/Barnes & Noble
I - iBooks/iTunes
E - EPUB/various stores
P - PDF/various stores
X - no downloads; proprietary app required

I recommend using Gift Certificates for managing your own Kindle book purchases and for eliminating all those tiny charges from bargain books, which some banks do not allow due to fraud controls and which can make balancing your statement something of a chore.

Right now, Amazon also has free overnight delivery on Gift Cards (a gift certificate inside a nice gift card with envelope, ready for mailing or for those occasions (and people) where a physical gift is needed. Gift cards are also available from Kobo and Barnes & Noble; both have been known to run authorization charges against your card if there is no gift balance and Kobo is a Canadian company, which can involve extra fees from some banks if a credit card is used. You can buy Kobo Gift Cards using a credit/debit card or (new) using PayPal, then remove your CC info from the account.

You can use Dropbox or SpiderOak to back up your books (from Amazon or elsewhere) and then access them via the browser (on WiFi or 3G) from anywhere, without having to keep them all on your Kindle all the time.
