Unhappy Where is the love for the Non-KSO owners?
I keep seeing the post for deals the KSO owners are getting and I'm starting to feel a little left out. I bought the Kindle 3G when there was not KSO model and I love it but I would like to enjoy some of the great deals the KSO owners are being offered. Not to sound snobbish or anything but I paid for the premium model of the Kindle and think I deserve any special offers that might be available. I'm even a Prime member, where is the Amazon love for those of us that paid full price for the Kindle 3? Anyone else feeling left out?

You could do what I did. Purchase Kindle with Special Offers in addition to your regular K3.

I have no need for an extra Kindle. I already paid for the top of the line model they offer, it would be silly to buy another for offers to buy more stuff from them.

I'm not feeling left out at all. The price to qualify for those special offers is too expensive for my taste.

I'm a touch disappointed, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

Personally, I think Amazon should allow an opt in for non-KSO models. It's only fair.

Neither am I. I chose not to get the KSO and am happy with the decision.

Yeah - I saved the cost of the KSO very early on, many times over. The grocery offer alone easily paid for it (and a second one, to get another coupon code for more free money).

Now, though, the offers are dropping a bit in frequency and allure, plus they started blocking getting a second offer on the same account. Time to register an account for a spouse or kid, to get the second offer code on some of these.

This. I'm not sorry I got my KSO by any means, however, the "Buick", "Visa" and "Oil of Olay" type ads are a little tacky/irritating.

However, I did save hundreds on the 50% off groceries coupon code, and I do take advantage of the offers fairly regularly (maybe 1 in 5?) so I put up with the ads. The full kindles feel more classy, if that's worth anything to you.

LOL! I read on an original K3/3G. I use the KSO to send all the "free" books to and for the offers. Otherwise, I don't open it up or read on it (although it's there as a backup).

Haha. I noticed that some of the offers haven't been THAT great the last few weeks. But, I'm hoping for a killer holiday season with offers. I imagine that Amazon will probably do something fairly sweet within the next couple months.
