Thank you all for confirming my feelings; I was just on the phone with an Amazon rep, and they will replace my Kindle. On the bright side (ahem), it turns out they do keep some devices around as a reserve for replacements when an item is out of stock. Will still have to wait a week but it's better than a month!
