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.
Mine (my original) is like that. It has never bothered me but it is something I have noticed. It doesn't seem to affect the function of the Kindle at all. The refurb Kindle I just gave to Susan in my office also looks brand spanking new. L |

I think the next/previous page buttons on a lot of people's Kindles have tiny alignment differences. Mine has a tiny difference between the right-hand next page, and back buttons, and I didn't think anything of it until someone posted on the Amazon Kindle board asking about something similar. It is probably less than 1/64th inch difference, just enough to feel - no biggie.
I wonder if the refurbished Kindles had bad batteries or something, since we have always heard that they can't be repaired. I suppose it is possible that they might be able to pop in a new board at the factory, or something.
It's so nice that they had some refurbished ones available so close to Christmas, when the others are so back-ordered!

I also heard that Kindles that had been refused on delivery were being sold as refurbished. L |

Susan's opened it? Does she love it? Is she a KB member yet?

Maybe that little difference is supposed to be there so you can feel it if your finger is sliding toward the back button. I haven't checked mine. Congratulations, Delby. Happy Kindling. |

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.

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.
Wow. That what I pay for two semesters of college...Hmmm. No I can't and will not give my kindle. |

Actually that's pretty normal. Mine is that way, and a bunch of people on MobileRead posted that theirs were that way too, one with pictures. |
