I'm pretty sure this just happened. I almost positive it was $359 yesterday!

Wow! I just checked and that is the price I am seeing. Great news for folks who are looking into Kindles.

Wow, that's quite a price drop. I wonder if they'll lower the price of the DX too?

Can people who have bought K2's in the last 30 days get a refund on the price difference?

K1 was released at $399 in November of 2007. Price dropped to $359 around May of 2008. K1 discontinued (out of stock) in November of 2008 and K2 released in Feb of 2009 at $359. July 2009: K2 price reduced to $299.

You can make up the difference with free and reduced cost books, it's not so bad! Keep optimistic and be happy now that people who might not have bought the Kindle at the higher price point may now consider it! |

I would definitely call CS and ask, can't hurt and you've got nothing to lose. |

The post above mine asked if the DX was coming down in price. My response was that the DX had not dropped in price. I didn't quote the original post since it was, well, right on top of my replay. So yes the K2 has dropped but the DX has not. |

And if they say no you can pack up your K2 and return it for a full refund. Then buy the K2 and save yourself the $60. My guess is that they will refund the difference. (shrugs) |

If they won't refund, you can return your Kindle 2 within 30 days, so long as it is in as-new condition, for a refund, a simply re-buy it. That is, if you can afford to be without your Kindle for a few days. Even with 2 day shipping, you would save enough to buy a good few books. In fact, I would specifically ask in your email to customer service whether you can get a refund or if you need to return and re-buy. If they think you're going to put them through the hassle of receiving a returned Kindle, they may well just give you the refund. Good luck either way! I would definitely call CS and ask, can't hurt and you've got nothing to lose.

Is it really worth all the work? I wouldn't take the chance on getting another one with the sun-fade issue. |

I wouldn't bother returning the K2 and running the risk of getting one w/"issues" either. If they don't refund the difference I'd just have to eat it and be done w/it.

Wow. I am a bit annoyed that this happened 2 weeks after I paid full price, but now I can get my mom one for her birthday so I guess there is a plus side. |

If you are on a budget and saved for a Kindle,, I would think it would be worth the effort to get $60 back. But that is me.
I have a K1 so I don't have to make this decision. I know that there are folks who just got K2's and are going to be thinking about this issue. May as well get it out there early and get feasible solutions. Hopefully Amazon just refunds the folks who call and ask $60. It would save them shipping and restocking expenses.
