So... Jack-o... how did you get your ship date to update?

Well, I called Jeff Bezos and asked him to 'please hurry it up'. He usually jumps when I say 'jump'.

p.s. I'm totally kidding - I have no idea why my ship date would change, but others would not. I'm sorry I don't have better info $:-\$

I have signed up to be notified if any refurbs are released. Actually....I signed up to be notified about refurbs on the same day I became a member here. Since that time, I've seen people say that they got an email telling them a refurb was available - but I've never seen one of those. Does anyone know how those emails work?

p.s.s. If you tell me to call Jeff Bezos - I suppose I deserve that

Thanks. That's the direct link, but how was that link derived? Does it show up in the "Used" section when refurbs are available? I can't seem to get to the "Refurbished" section by simply browsing.

You could click the link up top and mke a book mark for it in your browser.

That is where the link goes.

I "heart" Jeff Bezos! But dang it Jeff... get a move on!

Quick question... I've been trying to check out any refurbs, but haven't had any luck yet. Can anyone tell me what the going rate is for a refurb?

LuckyRainbow · « **Reply #954 on:** December 29, 2008, 06:40:05 am »

They sell for $329 from Amazon with same warranty and return policy.

Vampyre · « **Reply #955 on:** December 29, 2008, 06:43:06 am »

They seem scarcer than hen's teeth right now.

Spiritdancer · « **Reply #956 on:** December 29, 2008, 07:23:55 am »

There are a few refurbs available from Kelly under the sell/trade section. They are $395 with shipping, insurance, etc. included.

Betsy the Quilter · « **Reply #957 on:** December 29, 2008, 07:31:06 am »

Yes, Kelly managed to order I think 6 refurbs through one click before he realized the orders actually went through, LOL! Unopened, in the box.

That's his story and he's stickin' to it.

I forgot about it but if you want a Kindle this Week, he has some left.(Kelly is a guy right?)

Yes he is. His DH is the one forcing him to sell the Kindles instead of keeping them as back ups.

Well I picked up my skin.
But still have nothing to put it on...

Weeping,
Eric

Further updates:
My Decal Girl skin has been delivered and I will pick her up tomorrow.
I use one of those UPS store mailbox services.

The Kindle is still a mystery, I was told it was being shipped directly to me and there was a chance
it would be here by now. Of course it ain't...

Still I am a lonely boy. Lonely and blue...

I will try not to post another update until the Kindle arrives, but please don't hold me to that.
I simply said I would "TRY".

Night my new friends in books and Kindles.

Oh Erich,

It's still only 3:30 pm where you are. Delivery trucks are still delivering. The Dog Star may be looking down on you...I hope!

Eric, we're sending mega positive vibes your way!!!

No Kindle Joy today?

DeDe · « **Reply #964 on:** December 29, 2008, 05:04:26 pm »

Eric - I'm sorry to hear you haven't received your Kindle yet. I also have clothes for my Kindle and no Kindle. I'm hoping to receive it tomorrow but I don't want to get to excited or I'll be bummed out tomorrow if I don't get it

Maybe tomorrow for you too?

libro · « **Reply #965 on:** December 29, 2008, 05:56:51 pm »

Eric and DeeDee -- Hoping you both receiving your Kindles tomorrow. We're here waiting with you!

scrappergirl · « **Reply #966 on:** December 29, 2008, 08:50:14 pm »

I ordered mine on 12-23-08 and expected delivery is Feb 28th - March 6th - so I have a long time to wait. Oh well by then I should be well educated and know everything I need too

Gives me more time for accessorizing!

ljloula · « **Reply #967 on:** December 30, 2008, 06:31:48 am »

Any updated Kindle news for us?

I have my Radiocity skin on, but still using the old case with mine. New one should be here in the next week or so.

MeganW · « **Reply #968 on:** December 30, 2008, 09:03:31 am »

I just ordered my Kindle this morning and have an estimated delivery date between February 27 and March 10. Hoping for a faster ship date, but if nothing else, I'll have plenty of time to read my paper books!

Vampyre · « **Reply #969 on:** December 30, 2008, 09:39:41 am »

Looks like things are slowing down for the end of the year. I hope they pick up in January.

I googled bookworm and found this.

I saw your AV and thought you might like it.

DeDe · « **Reply #972 on:** December 30, 2008, 01:39:25 pm »

I'm still,not very patiently, waiting...weather is getting pretty bad so office is closed (1/2 ago) and I was to get my Kindle today at work. Unfortunately because of the weather all the drivers are running late so it hasn't arrived yet. I called UPS to see if they know how much longer so I can leave (have an appt at in 2.5 hours and people drive crazy in the snow...too fast or too slow (I'm the only one who drives reasonably...of course

) They relayed the message to the driver and will call me back within the hour (1/2 hour left) so I may be Kindle-less today

At this point even if I get it today I won't have time to charge it up and use it tonight and have plans tomorrow after work and Thursday...I am sad.

Eric - did you end up getting yours today? I hope someone gets to be happy today

Linda Cannon-Mott · « **Reply #973 on:** December 30, 2008, 01:45:34 pm »

DeDe hope you get it today! Keep us posted. When I received mine it charged very quickly and you can read while it is charging.

Received an email stating there was 1 available refurb. Of course, it was gone within moments.

I thought refurbs would come in batches.
