If someone finds out Amazon is selling 30 day returns as new units I think there would be quite an uproar. I wouldn't be surprised to see Kindle refurb store come up sometime in the future.

All of the electronics stores that I have shopped at sell returned items as new. As long as it is as good as new, I see nothing wrong with that. If there has been no need to refurbish it, then I do not see why they should sell it as such.
Some of the stores (not all ... but some), will offer a small discount for what they call "open box" items ... but that's about it.
