Why would they send you the older one?<BR/><BR/>Is it too late for you to cancel and re-order the newer one?Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-3415504387731087022008-12-13T13:27:00.000-06:002008-12-13T13:27:00.000-06:00Sam, I wondered that too and inquired at Amazon. t...Sam, I wondered that too and inquired at Amazon. they said I will receive the version I ordered, which is version one. I'm wondering how true that is though since if they are relasing version 2 early next year, why would they continue to make version one at the same time? I guess I will find out in February!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-8460467264483492292008-12-07T20:23:00.000-06:002008-12-07T20:23:00.000-06:00Stefanie, I wonder if you'll be getting the new ve...Stefanie, I wonder if you'll be getting the new version.

I'm not sure about why Amazon so misjudged the demand but to give them the benefit of the doubt they probably did not expect Oprah to rave about it. Never underestimate the power of Oprah. I know when I ordered mine I had no problems getting it fulfilled in a couple days. Within days after Oprah's show the availability of the Kindle changed to a long wait.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-29523886114820436432008-12-06T20:52:00.000-06:002008-12-06T20:52:00.000-06:00Dang, and I was hoping for one under my tree!!! :D...Dang, and I was hoping for one under my tree!!! :Dmaggie moranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02462439415973311990noreply@blogger.com
