did anyone here return their Kindle to get the HP Touchpad 16GB for $84?

I bought a KSO 3G at BestBuy for $139 and it came with a $30 BestBuy
gift card... making the final cost $109. (since I intended to used the
gift card to buy a Kindle gift card and use it to buy other stuff on Amazon)

Shortly after that, HP killed the Touchpad and put it up on their website
for $99. I ordered one from HP.com and used the $15 coupon code,
making the final cost $84. (plus my state's sales tax) It even came with
free shipping.

A few days after the Touchpad was delivered, I returned the KSO 3G
and the $30 gift card back to BestBuy for a full refund. While I was
at the store, I managed to buy 2 more Touchpads at $99. (they got
a dozen in that morning) Those two went to other members of my
familly.

I've been using the Touchpad's Kindle app to read the same books during
the last couple of weeks. I must say I don't really missing the KSO 3G.
(especially considering how little I paid for the Touchpad)

Just wondering if there are any others here who made the same choice?
