Happy second birthday, Amazon Appstore, and here's to many more.

Typically when you're invited to a birthday party, you're expected to bring a gift for the birthday girl or boy (or pet).

Valentine's Day is just over a week from now, and if you haven't yet been pierced by Cupid's arrow, perhaps a change of scenery is what you need. A good place to start is Tennessee, a state that appears three times on Amazon's list of the top 20 most romantic cities in the U.S. At the top of the list is Knoxville, Tennessee, with Murfreesboro (No. 8) and Clarksville (No. 18) claiming two additional spots for the Volunteer state.

Throughout the month of January, Amazon is offering its Student Prime members a $50 discount on the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" tablet, bringing the starting price down to $249. That's a pretty good deal that more than offsets the cost of a Student membership, which runs $39 per year. For those who are unfamiliar, Amazon's Prime program offers members free two-day shipping on millions of items with no minimum order, free instant streaming to its catalog of movies and TV shows, and a free Kindle book to borrow each month from the Kindle Owners' Lending Library.
