My new Kindle won't arrive until 3/09?
I ordered my first Kindle on November 20th. The first expected delivery date was December 17th. I checked my Amazon account again today on the advice of a friend who just ordered a Kindle and my new delivery date is now March 19, 2009.
Although Amazon doesn't charge your cc until the order is shipped, I canceled my order and will see what transpires around March of next year. I've never heard of a 4-month backlog! |

I'm due to get my third Kindle in about a week, but then that one is going to be a factory refurbished model, and those (when they are available) are shipped right out. I'm curious to see how "refurbished" refurbished Kindle's are. I am expecting something of like-new quality. Hope it is that .... in any event, they have the same return policy and warranty as new. |

You can find it on the same page on Amazon (when they are available). Look for the refurbished menu tab. Here:

I read somewhere that a customer noticed their Kindle arrival date suddenly pushed out from before Christmas to February.
He/she called Amazon and the rep said it was a mistake and got them a revised ship date towards the end of December. Did you call before canceling your order? |

I just reordered and the new delivery date has been pushed up to February. Patience is not a core competency of mine, especially when it comes to my gadgets. I don't know why it's taken me this long to get one!
