You can not wildly assume that just because you can purchase it with or without SO that it will definitely have an "Opt Out Option." We won't know that for certain until they update the information on the Manage Your Kindle page. I suspect there will be an option, but we simply don't know yet.

Your challenge to the integrity of my post lacks evidence. All eink kindles are non-SO until you register them (unless you get a pre-registered kindle). They are not two different models. They are the same model with two different purchase options just as I described in my post. I was correct.

To (hopefully) prevent arguing about word definitions, "opt" means "to select an option". The Paper White purchase page gives two purchase options, which allow you to select whether you want to purchase that model with the SO option (i.e. "opt-in") or without the SO option (i.e. "opt-out"). Implying that the "opt-in" and "opt-out" options only apply AFTER a purchase is a false assumption.

I did not say that the Paper White model had a "post-purchase Opt-Out option" such as what you are trying to dispute. I made no "wild assumptions" in my post. It sounds like you made some assumptions while incorrectly interpreting the intent of my post.

Amazon staff have given mixed signals to the press regarding future post-purchase opt-out options. A twit.tv video reported that they were told by amazon that it WILL be available later, despite claims made at the amazon web site. So based on that evidence, you have no proof that I would have been incorrect even if I HAD made such a claim.
