I bought the new $69 (black) kindle tonight at Best Buy. They still had the $69.99 price on it, so I asked them to sell it to me for $69, which is the Amazon price (and Staples on their website). They did it (had to run it past the sales person on the floor AND the cashier (the floor person explained to him how he could do this). I know it's standard sales procedure, but what a PIA that the sales person tried to sell me a warranty ("but what if you drop it!"), cover, and wall plug. She said "why don't you want a case?" I have three and I bought the wall plug with my KFHD.
Wow! The text is much blacker than it is on my K4(NT-Silver). The background is lighter, although when I hold the two kindles side by side the difference in the background looks slight.
I went to Staples yesterday. Their website has it "in stock" at my nearest location, which is a Staples copy express store. They only had the silver K4 for $79 on display and there was no one available to help me. All the workers were helping people at the check-out and copy area.
There were two reasons why I decided to buy it in a store. One is that the ATM gave me $300

instead of $40 on Saturday and I didn't want to mess around with depositing cash back into the machine. Can't order from Amazon with cash. Also, since my temp work is almost always last-minute call-up, I never know for sure if I will be home for delivery from UPS.
