i've ordered mine, with delivery estimated to be late december.
i do have a gripe with amazon, however. on the bundle page for the scribe, there is a button that purports to "save 20% with trade in". so i decided to trade in both my oasis and voyage. i applied the trade-in value of the oasis immediately on check out but did not see the 20% discount (the policy states 20% + trade in). on going back and forth between 2 CSRs at amazon, i found out that the 20% discount would only apply if i purchase the scribe alone, not with the bundle. so if the 20% discounts apply, it would apply to just the value of the scribe within the bundle - i understand this.
however, it did not apply at all due to the fact that i purchased the bundle instead of the scribe alone.
so my question is - why is the discount advertised on the bundle page when it doesn't apply at all? to anyone looking at this page, the obvious conclusion is that if the user trades in a device, that the discount would apply to the purchased item on this page. i would think this looks like bait & switch or false advertising.
opinions?
