Kindle backorders filled with Kindle 2
From Amazon Kindle Page.
"Order Kindle now to RESERVE YOUR PLACE IN LINE. We prioritize orders on a first come, first served basis. If you have previously placed an order for Kindle 1, and have not yet received it, your order will automatically be upgraded to Kindle 2. You need to do nothing. " Woo Hoo ... MyridoM |

What if you don't want a Kindle 2? I heard a couple say they were waiting for Kindle 1 and didn't want the latest.

There's a lot of Kindle owners who received them during the holidays that will sell their Kindle 1. People who wants Kindle 1 can now get them at bargain prices from some Kindle 1 owners. There are some great accessories thrown in also! It's a win win situation! Check out the Sell & Trade section on this board (Fleamarket) and Kindleboards.com!

If they prefer the Kindle 1 then they can return the 2, there will be plenty of good used Kindle 1s for sale

If someone wants a Kindle one, I'll trade them mine for a new Kindle 2. I've read maybe 3 books on it and its in perfect condition.

Great, this is excellent news to me. Based on what I've read, the Kindle 2 seems to be an improvement, not a downgrade.

Yes, in most respects it looks like a nice evolutionary upgrade. Not enough of one to tempt me personally, though (not that I expected it to be). If I was a first-time buyer, I'd have no problem with it at all.

What if you ordered a K1 and now will be getting a k2 but you don't want a K2, but a brand new K1 with fill warranty? Is there any chance Amazon will sell you a new K1 if you tell them that's what you want?

Probably not since I'd bet they are seriously out of stock and no more will be produced.
