Unhappy Update: A Cat, Coffee Cup and a Kindle

OK, for everyone who was keeping up with the story before.. The cat jumped on the desk and knocked the Kindle and a coffee cup on to the floor. The Kindle screen was smashed by the coffee cup.. That was in December.

So Kindle release day comes and goes.. No replacement Kindle.
I call the next day.. Ask about the status of the Kindle. Give them all the numbers, etc etc.. Finally they figure out there was something wrong with how the order was processed.. They say a supervisor has to fix it and I will get an email with shipping information in the next few days.

I get an email the next day saying that my Kindle will be shipped overnight...
I'm happy..

Today comes, I get the box.. it's big, ugh oh.. Inside is a Kindle 1. Crap!!!
I waited two and a half months for a replacement and it's not even a new one.

So I call Amazon, they tell me I can send it back and incur a restocking fee and use the credit toward the Kindle 2. So basically, if I want a new one it's gonna cost me another $65 bucks plus the case.. Almost $100.. Even after I got an email that said I was being upgraded to a Kindle 2. But since I deleted that email, they won't honor it.

I'm kinda pissed, but also just glad I have my books back..
Oh well.. could be worse.. I could still be without one..
