Crackle: The streaming service you should be watching

Amazon Instant Video. Hulu Plus. Netflix. These big-three video services get all the ink, but there's another source for TV and movies you might want to check out.

It's called Crackle, and it's free.

Though you've probably never heard of it, Crackle's been around since 2007, when it was acquired by Sony (and known as Grouper). For the past two years or so, the service's primary claim to fame was streaming episodes of "Seinfeld."

However, Crackle just joined the big leagues (in my humble opinion) by adding the first two seasons of "The Shield," the Emmy-winning FX cop show that only recently came to Amazon.

Of course, you need an Amazon Prime account ($79 annually) if you want to watch the show there.

How to get a free Nook Simple Touch e-reader

If you've ever tried to use a tablet as an e-reader, especially a big tablet, you know that it's not exactly ideal. Larger, heavier models can be hard to hold for long periods, and I find them especially unwieldy for reading in bed.

Plus, tablets offer no end of distractions, everything from e-mail to Facebook to Angry Birds to Netflix. With so many cool apps competing for your attention, it can be hard to focus on your book.

That's why I'm a firm believer in owning a dedicated e-reader--and why this deal is particularly awesome. For a limited time, Barnes & Noble is offering a free Nook Simple Touch e-reader when you purchase a Nook HD+ tablet.

At $269, the HD+ is already a killer deal.

Get two Little Critter children's e-books for 99 cents each

If you have little kids, you're probably familiar with the Little Critter series. Mercer Mayer's books were immensely popular in our house; I believe I read "Just Go to Bed" approximately 1.7 million times.

Of course, with each paperback title costing $3.99, Little Critter can end up costing a lot. But if you own a smartphone or tablet, here's your chance to score a couple digital editions on the cheap.

For a limited time, Oceanhouse Media is offering "Happy Easter, Little Critter" and "Just Me and My Little Brother" for 99 cents each.
