This summer, Oprah received a gift that she says changed her life. “I’m telling you, it is absolutely my new favorite thing in the world,” she says.
Along with her endorsement, Amazon is offering $50 off of the Kindle until November 1. The coupon code is OPRAHWINFREY. You can order the Kindle: Amazon’s Wireless Reading Device here.
