Kindle Review – Kindle Fire Review, Kindle 4 Review

It’s November, 2010 and Amazon have brought back refurbished kindles -

• Refurbished Kindle 2 is $119 compared to a new Kindle 2 which is $189.
• Refurbished Kindle 2 US is $139 which is quite cheap.

Overall, it provides three very good price points for various new and refurbished kindles – $189, $219, and $259. It’ll be interesting to see whether this means Amazon are trying to clear stock for a Kindle 2 or competing against lower priced  eReader competitors.

Sept 15th: Refurbished Kindle 2 for $219, and Refurbished Kindle 1 for $149 is now available at Amazon.

July 16th, 2009 update: Refurbished Kindles for $199 at Amazon. This is great and in keeping with the Kindle 2′s price-cut to $299. Used Kindle prices have alse begun falling.

Dec 11th 5:01 pm – refurbished Kindle 1 for $329  currently available at Amazon. They were sold out in 3 hours.

9:30 pm Dec 3rd – Out of Stock – not sure for how long.

4:11 pm Dec 3rd – Refurbished Kindles for $329 currently available at Amazon.

Dec 2nd update – - Refurbished Kindles again at Amazon. 3 hours later and refurbished kindles are, once again, sold out.

Nov 30th Update – Refurbished Kindle is now sold out. And prices for used kindles are increasing.

Nov 29th update – The $327 Refurbished Kindle is having an impact – someone is now selling a used kindle for $429 (much better than the earlier $700+ prices). Good move by Amazon. In more ways than one.

There’s a Refurbished Kindle available at Amazon for $329. Click on the link to go directly there. They’re showing only 1 available – however, even after I ordered one it’s still showing availability.

I basically had a moving to Canada bank address change fiasco and the one I’d ordered had to be cancelled – I can’t wait till Feb for a Kindle so I ordered the refurbished one – even though I’m super reluctant to buy refurbished stuff - well, my first PC in the US was refurbished too and that worked out.

It clearly shows ‘Fulfillment by Amazon’ , is eligible for super-saver shipping, etc. – so it’s clearly Amazon selling refurbished kindles. I’d have preferred a $250 price point – however, given that it’s going on ebay for over $700 I understand the $329 price.

Refurbished Kindle Available

• The cheapest used Kindle is $795 at Amazon MarketPlace. And at similar prices on eBay. VERSUS
• Amazon is selling a Refurbished Kindle, with a 1 year warranty for $329.

Easy Decision.

Edit: Some people have listed the used Kindle at prices over $1000 – that’s just wrong.

My Thoughts on Refurbished Kindle Availability:

I have no idea how many refurbished kindles Amazon has left to sell. There are a decent number of kindles that have falls or other problems and get replaced. I think there is enough of a demand to sell out these refurbished kindles in 1 to 2 weeks.
