She's making this up because she posted a similar claim on another forum a month ago, then backtracked:

Did you guys know that they are selling Kindle's at Sam's Club now? A friend of mine from work who just bought herself a new Kindle last month from Amazon after seeing mine, said that she saw them there and that they are selling them for $250. Can you believe that? They are the Kindle 1.0, but still........

I guess they decided to do that now that the 2.0 is out. Wish I had known earlier. I bought mine in October of last year. I would have waited to buy it at Sam's Club if I had. Or had I known that a newer version was coming out so soon, I would have waited and bought the 2.0.

I haven't talked to my friend from work who says she saw them there since I posted this discussion topic. When she told me she had seen them there, I asked her if she was sure, because like you all, I thought Amazon only sold their own brands on Amazon.com. She swore that she saw them there. I asked in the Amazon discussion forums if anyone had heard that, but no luck there either. I wish I had time to go and see for myself, but I work on an overnight shift, and they aren't open when I get off and are closed before I go to work. I won't get the chance to go there until next Sunday. Maybe I will try to call them when I get up this evening and ask them about it. If I find out, I will let you know.

I finally saw her today and told her that no one thinks it could have been the Kindle she saw, and that I have been researching it, and think it was a different brand. She said that she really thought it was the Kindle, but since she didn't pick it up or handle it, she can't swear to it, so I am sure you are right and it was the Sony reader or some other brand. Guess I got excited for no good reason. Sorry! :-(
