That's my price point: $200. Amazon has the Internet advantage, but the big DRM issue.. |

I just sold my PRS-505 in ebay 2 weeks ago, and got a Kindle 2 last Monday with $359. How can I get the $60 credit back. Do I need to file a claim?

Proven quality vs. proven quantity. Amazon wins because the majority of people have mediocre taste. |

I just ordered my Kindle on July 3rd & called Amazon customer service (1-866-216-1072) this morning. They're issuing me a $60 refund, but the lady I spoke with thought I had said that I had ordered the Kindle on June 3rd and was going to do the refund anyway. So it wouldn't hurt to call customer service even if you're a few days past the 30-day deadline.

$360 or $300. 16% discount is not much incentive

E-ink is not one of the Kindle's flaws; it does not need to be "fixed." (Faster page turns would be nice. So would color, which will probably come with a $200 price spike for the first year or two it's available. But e-ink itself is a feature, not a bug.) |
