Through 11/26/2007 12/31/2007, you can donate an XO laptop to a child in a developing nation and get one for yourself for $399. [EDIT] This offer has been so popular that they say they’re raking in $2 million dollars/day!

So forget the Kindle [EDIT] (amazingly it’s sold out on Amazon!), and get yourself an XO. It runs a version of Linux, called Sugar OS and can browse the web, read electronic books, paint, learn python, and all sorts of fun stuff. Plus, you get to deduct $199 (cost of laptop donated) from your taxes next year and get that warm fuzzy feeling of having donated to charity and having helped educate the poor. Get your OLPC today!.
