First, just in case you haven’t noticed, there have been three big Kindle price cuts Amazon in the past three weeks:
- On June 21, the price of the latest-generation Kindle with the 6-inch display and global 3G wireless was reduced from $259 to $189. Order here for $189.
- On July 1, Amazon introduced a new Kindle DX with a 9.7-inch display, global 3G wireless, and “50% better display contrast” in a graphite exterior casing at a price reduced from $489 to $379. Order here for $379.
- Finally, over the holiday weekend Amazon resumed selling its remaining inventory of the 2nd-generation white Kindle DX with a 9.7-inch display and global 3G wireless at a price reduced from $489 to $359. This was the latest-generation Kindle DX until July 1. Order here for $359, or get a refurbished model for $299.99.
Naturally, recent Kindle buyers have been calling the Kindle switchboards by the hundreds in hopes of getting a credit or refund for part or all of the price difference. In the past, and in numerous cases reported to me by Kindle Nation citizens in the last week or so, Amazon has provided just such a credit within a 30-day window.
It’s definitely worth a call, and from within the U.S. you can reach a Kindle representative toll-free at 1-866-321-8851. International customers can reach Amazon at 1-206-266-2992.
