Strange image for new Kindle on Manage Your Kindle page

jswinden · 09-07-2012, 03:39 PM

Anyone else get this strange device image on their Manage Your Kindle page for their newly pre-ordered Kindle?

This is the image they show for my Kindle Paperwhite.

Skydog · 09-07-2012, 03:41 PM

Yes, I have. Paperwhite = 20, 8.9" Fire = 23

That might be the device code, in decimal. (ie. B014 serial for the PW). Anyone with a PW 3G to confirm that they're seeing something else? (19? 21?). (And a 'new' K4, while we're at it? ^^)

EDIT: Ha! Note the filename. celeste. I WIN. Which probably means the codename of the 'new' K4 is icewine. That confirms the accuracy of the devboards id... (there were two celeste, one with 3g, the other wifi only, and only one icewine, without 3g).

I have ad-free 3G PW - Mine is 20.

Well, there goes that theory... ^^

I saw this oddity earlier today, but now am seeing the same image of the device that's on the order page.

Skydog · 09-08-2012, 01:48 AM

The thumbnails now display correctly on my account.

mewmartigan · 09-08-2012, 04:14 PM

I get the correct thumbnail, no serial number yet...obviously

I've got the correct image now too. If I remember correctly, the serial number shows up just before it ships.

mewmartigan · 09-08-2012, 05:12 PM

For the Kindle 3 and the Kindle Touch, didn't Amazon start shipping them a week early as a "thank you" to the customers? I hope that is the case here, I want my paperwhite!

I didn't get a Kindle Touch but Amazon started shipping K3s two days before the official launch date. I got mine in one day.

They did this for the Kindle Fire too when it launched. They upgraded the shipping to overnight. I was so excited.

They shipped mine out of Lexington. It was just a quick trip down the interstate.

The dummy images were just replaced with real images. Great.

Next step will be insertion of our serial numbers.
