for the moment .....

You beat me!  I was going to post the samething.  If you got a reborn Kindle, you got one of the last ones until they start shipping new ones again.

Maybe the eBay add was telling the truth...no matter, if he has any left, it's truthful now.

Ha, I wonder if the guy selling the refurb actually ordered it or was going to wait to see if he sold it? I noticed another guy set up a fake auction to let people know that  the refurb Kindles were available at Amazon for 329.00, with a link. I thought that was pretty cool of him, esp since he had to pay to do that.

The refurb tab is up again on Amazon. At least for now.

And its gone again

I noticed some of the sellers are now selling refurbed units under the used section on Amazon...  so looks like people were buting the refurb just to sell (but they have to gamble on Amazon not having any more refurbs).

I guess those refurbs will continue to appear over time as Amazon, well, refurbishes any Kindles that get returned.

(For our newly-joining visitors, here's where they'll show up:)

You love my Santa only because you haven’t read his lips.

I wasn't in any hurry and just used the regular shipping. Amazon says she’ll get it Wednesday. If I tell her what it is she’ll have it on eBay by Thursday and 10 more refurbs on order from Amazon, so we must all be very quiet.

Currently no refurbs. Someone is selling a used Kindle for $1100.00 !!!!!!!

I can't imagine selling Griselda for any amount of money. That's like selling babies on the black market.

I could not sell my Kindle  either. Anyone  that would pay that amount would be crazy.

Well, now, applying a little logic here:  You could not sell your Kindle.  That means you put a very high value on it.  And yet you state that a person who would pay a very high price would be crazy.  But a person who would pay the high price must put a very high value on the Kindle, as you do.  Hence, you're crazy.

Its o.k. though. . . . we all are..  . .

Susan arrived at work and I gave her her Kindle early (after wrapping it in pretty blue paper). She opened it right up and is beside herself with happiness! She said it is the nicest present she has ever received. (Where's that blushing smiley?)

For being a refurb item (and I told her it was) it looks absolutely brand spanking new. Not a ding, not a fingermark...nothing. Everything was perfect. It was packed in the box perfectly with the tissue over the cover and the plastic film on the Kindle.

She immediately registered it to her account and within a minute or two was sending herself samples. And then she (kiddingly!) asked for the rest of the day off. I told her she had to work for 20 minutes and then could go play.

So wonderful leslie!

Hello everyone. 

I got my Kindle today at 11 a.m. sharp..... The UPS guys started stopping in front of my house and didn't even make a full stop before I was at the curb ready to take delivery.  LOL

My Factory Refurbished kindle arrived in a new factory shrink wrapped package (looks like a big book) everything inside was protected my protective paper or covers.

The usb cable and power cord look like they have never been out of the box. 

The Case is brand new with the protective paper still on it and the cardboard insert in it.

The Battery is visually brand new with no marks inside the back cover.

The reset button also works It either froze up or was just taking to long to download when I was surfing the web and hit a page that I knew had a lot of photo's on it.

The Kindle itself is spotless not a mark, blur, or blemish on it.

 The only little thing that I can see that might not be perfect (though since this is the first one i've ever seen it might just be the way it is made) is the next page button on the right hand side doesn't quite line up exactly with the back button on the right.

The difference is very slight but is there. So far after 3 hours of use I havn't found a thing that doesn't work.  I've also installed a 2 gig SD card with no problems.

And thats the report.....

oh and just noticed that the screensaver for sleep mode just kicked in for the first time while I was typing this in..

Congratulations, Delby on your Kindle and thanks for the report on the reborn one.

What books have you or are you going to download?
