The Amazon Kindle can also do games. Who knew, right? Apparently, a lot of people. Now, the retailer is taking all of the customer favorites and offering them at a discount—for a limited time, of course.

From now through September 12, 2011, you can download 12 different Kindle games for just 99 cents each. That means next time you are lounging on the deck, in the living room or even on the beach, you can play old favorites like Scrabble and Yahtzee, as well as some other interesting titles, such as Slingo and Panda Poet. Check out the full listing of favorites on Amazon’s website.

Once you find a little something to keep you busy for hours on end, that cost includes free wireless delivery.

Some of these games typically go for as much as $4.99. That makes this kind of a nice sale, with savings up to 80 percent. Just make sure to order before September 12, or you’re going to have to pay full price.
