I know for a fact that this secret method worked so well that over 3,000 Wii Game Consoles were bought like this. Remember how HARD it was to get a Wii Game Console when it first came out?

Remember what sleazy resellers did to the prices on Amazon.com when they figured out they had the bull by the horns?

That’s right they made a pretty penny off of us all…

That is off of everyone that did not use this simple and lesser known method to get hard to find items on Amazon.com no higher than MSRP and usually with free shipping.

All you need is a web browser, and some patience.  Once you set this up you really don’t have to do anything more than listen for the bell!  This method will work for all of your difficult holiday shopping.  Anything that you think you are having to overpay for on Amazon because it is not sold directly, just follow this method and you will save BIG TIME!

How do Prices Get Jacked?!

Enter The Professional Reseller!

eBay resellers have many tools at their disposal that the general public does not know about. One of these nasty tools is called a “bot” (short for robot) which is a simple software program that scours the internet for hard to find items. When the bot finds one, it buys the item up immediately.

This is the way, that every holiday season, resellers make thousands of dollars in the process of reselling these “hard to find” items…sometimes at 10X the retail price. The truth is…these same resellers are hoarding the products just to sell them to you at a premium!

There are two ways to beat this kind of scheme. Either buy whatever you want REALLY early, or level the playing ground with the little known method that I will be showing you up ahead.

Can This Work with Other Hard to Get Items?

YES! — FOR WHATEVER HARD TO GET ITEM YOU CAN IMAGINE — YOU NAME IT!

So I have my own predictions as to what will be extremely hard to get at a reasonable price on Amazon.com. Consumer Reports says that 5/10 people polled had some kind of eBook reader on their list. Second category…Video Games…Third category…Camcorders… What is the coolest, smallest and just all around popular camcorder around… the Flip minoHD. So heck I’ll venture that if you have any of these items on your list (or any related item) you WILL find this method very useful.

Leveling the Playing Field!

Why can’t you do what the pro’s do?

You can! Given you have the right tools to make you nimble on your feet…or on your mouse…not sure what analogy to use here. Anyway, you get it right? It was actually through my association with one of those eBay resellers that I came upon this secret method. This seller…lets call him…squark… was actually making a killing reselling Wii Consoles… and for some reason decided to shift the balance of power..and give it back to the consumer.

I think it was good old greed in the end…. he was reselling Wii’s all over the place. This was last year… This year you will have access to the same tools and methods that these power sellers had. Enough hoarding of consumer electronics! No… really…this season YOU will have the power to buy from Amazon as soon as inventory hits their warehouse shelves. Just read on and find out how…

Watch this YouTube Video and Learn the System!

You will be Done and Ready to Go in 8 Minutes…

Three Steps to a Happy (and Frugal) Holiday Season!

OK so now you have watched the video. I have spilled my guts and now you KNOW exactly what you need to do. But I know some people rather have written instructions… So…. Here they are. Find what you need to do in three easy steps. Basically you:

1. Set Up your Amazon.com Account appropriately…
2. Go to the secret website I use…
3. Buy the goddamn thing and save some money in the process!

Ok, ok that was a summary… here go the full blown instructions:

Step 1

Set up your Amazon.com account…
In this game, as you can see, the main differentiator between you and them (the resellers) is SPEED. So… we need to balance the edge. One way to be able to quickly go through with a transaction on Amazon.com is to set up 1-Click. If you don’t know 1-Click just go to your Amazon.com account and look it up, there is plenty of information on it.

The thing is.. you need to have 1-Click ON and be logged in when the time is right!

The second thing I do to balance the playing field is to use AZ-Grabber.com. With these two elements in your favor there should be no reason why you could not do EXACTLY what they do!

Do NOT Skip This Step. Speed is the KEY!

Step 2

My Secret Weapon…
OK you have your 1-Click settings turned ON. Now you need to go to my secret weapon.

In AZ-Grabber.com add the product you want to watch. There is a quick tutorial video on how to do this straight on the site. Also, if you watched the 8 minute video above, you already know what I am talking about. Then click “Save My Watch List”. Now every time you go to AZ-Grabber.com on this computer it will remember what products you are watching.

This next step is VERY important! You must click the “Test this item’s alarm” button way at the bottom to make sure everything is working! After you recover from the SHOCK of hearing the alarm you can either move to step three or do a little troubleshooting (see below).

Troubleshooting: The most common problem you’ll have is that your browser will try and stop the product page from appearing when it is in stock. You MUST set your browser/popup blocker to allow popups from AZ-Grabber.com. There are no other popups on this site (there’s no sneaky advertising)… it just needs to open the Amazon.com page so you can order quickly.

Make SURE this is set up properly! It is the biggest reason you might fail to get what you are looking for.

Also, when you test the notification make sure your volume is appropriate and you can hear and recognize the alarm when it sounds. This may sound silly… but you need to be able to react quickly when the alarm goes off.

Now the only thing left to do is wait for Amazon.com to get the item in stock. There is no rhyme or reason to this. You should always be watching for it.

Just leave your web browser running in the background. You can go on doing whatever you normally do. Just remember that if you don’t have a web browser with www.AZ-Grabber.com loaded it WILL NOT WORK. I even had it set as my home page to make sure I remembered to have it running.

Step 3

The easy part!

When the alarm sounds rush to your computer and the product page for the item you are watching should be displayed in your browser. Check the Price…Order it with 1 Click! And CHECK OUT! Don’t wait around shopping for accessories or whatever…

That was easy… wasn’t it?

Good luck and ENJOY! now that you know the secret the pros use! When you get one let me know in the comments below.

I want my annotations from my kindle 2 to be exported into, for example: Microsoft Word. I was curious if this was possible, and if so, how to do it. Thanks in advance!

You need to do whispersync with your Kindle 2 device first. See "Managing Your Synchronization Settings" section on the official page here for details:

I was thinking of an iTouch for the ebook apps but I’m not sure if it would be a good investment. I don’t really want a Kindle they seem too constricting, any advice would be great!

Very few ebook readers read .LIT files, but at least .LIT is easy to convert to other formats. Calibre, free at http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net, will convert non-DRM’d lit files to ePub.

The Astak reader (http://www.astak.com/product.asp?serial=05EZBLK ) reads probably the most filetypes of any of the e-ink readers on the market right now, including both PDF and LIT. The iTouch is a good overall device, but not great as an ebook reader–if you want all the other features, it can work out, but if you’re mostly looking for an ebook reader and won’t miss the other apps, a dedicated reader is the way to go.

Mobileread’s "Which One Should I Buy?" forum is at http://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=123 and can help you decide which ebook reader would work best for you; they talk about the pros and cons of all of them.

iTouch is actually not designed for reading purpose. I’ve given my opinion about reading on the iPod and real ebook / pdf reader in a previous answer here, guess it’ll help you decide which to choose:

I bought books on my kindle and I want to know how to get them onto my macbook, i downloaded the application but when i go to it, it says I have no archived items. Can anyone help?

I am planning on buying a Kindle and I’m trying to prepare all of my ebooks to load them.

Are ebook files in a Kindle all stored in a single folder, or can they be separated into folders?

If they can be separated into folders, is there a limit on how many sub folders you can have?

Thanks!

The Kindle does not use folder but use similar thing. In the latest update of the Kindle, you can organize the books in collections, as you can see here:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fhelp%2Fcustomer%2Fdisplay.html%3Fie%3DUTF8%26nodeId%3D200324680%26ref_%3Dhp%5Fkrec%5Fsu&tag=elec-m-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

And the section "Sorting Content and Using Collections" on the official page here on how to make use of the Collections:

I love my Kindle reader very much, btw. I remember I read these reviews about the benefits of the Kindle when I decided to buy it:

it cost $150 for my text book and i can get a ebook reader for the same price, i have the text book in pdf format. so is it ok if i just use the ebook instead of text book.

I’ve a few textbooks on my Kindle reader, and I’ve used it for nearly a year without any problem. It does save me some heavy weights and money as well.

And I’ve compared the most popular ebook readers right now in the market in another answer here, guess you’ll be interested:

And in case you don’t know, Amazon just put a big price slash on the Kindle, and it is now a good time to get it. I put the link below for you to check it out yourself.

What are the technological and cost issues if someone wants to make an ebook reader to read text and pdf files and jpg/gif images? For instance, the issues of OS, format recognition, interfacing etc. Are there any books/websites dedicated for such project? Thanks for your response.

You would have to put together quite a team of developers, programmers, and other people in order to do that. I don’t think there is a lot of readily available information on the topic, because I would assume it takes a lot of funds to do that regarding research and development, patents and trademarks, manufacturing, design, etc.

If you’re looking to start a business, then you should get started with putting together a team. If it would be for personal use, you would spend a lot less on an existing eBook reader.

My mom is going to get me the Kindle reader as a Christmas gift and we wanted to know how do you buy the books on it? Thank you for helping us.

See here for details on how to buy books on the Kindle reader:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fgp%2Fhelp%2Fcustomer%2Fdisplay.html%3Fie%3DUTF8%26nodeId%3D200375550&tag=more_info-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

Actually you should just buy the Kindle device first. You can then shop directly through your Kindle device for ebooks, or you can buy books through PC computer and copy them to the Kindle.

BTW, there are some websites like these two, where you can find more than ten thousand free books for the Kindle. So no need to go to library to borrow them, you can actually own them:

Is there a function on the Amazon Kindle to define words without leaving the book you are reading? Example.. I am reading "The Road" and on page 26 there is a word i don’t understand.. Can i just select that word and it auto defines it for me?

If I can’t how would i go about defining words in the kindle?

Yes, the Kindle has a dictionary to define words without leaving what you’re reading, it just pop out at the bottom of the screen.

I love my Kindle very much, btw. I remember I read these reviews about the benefits of the Kindle when I decided to buy it, it also mentions about the dictionary function:

My first Kindle broke so I have gotten a new one, but I can’t figure out how to sync my old books onto it. Anyone know how?

Just see the question "Can I share content with other Kindles?" in the official FAQ here, there are full steps for this:
