Mine said the same thing when I ordered it Friday and today it changed to shipping soon. Estimated arrival August 10th. 11" 4GB 128SSD

im REALLY hoping that thats the case with mine too. i ordered mine at around 7ish saturday.

but i somehow doubt it. what do you guys think was more popular during this 20% sale? the 13 inch 128/256 or the 11 128/256/base?
 
Just bought a Kindle.. Great marketing if you ask me.

I just wish they had the i7 option for the 11.6inch!
 
Just curious, I've read several posts saying you can return your kindle to target.

Has anyone had problems doing this? I plan on returning mine soon. I guess I prefer my iPad for reading : )
 
Any chance the 11" Ultimate will be available on the site? I'm guessing they are just out of stock right now..at least hopefully because that's the version I'd really like to get from this sale. Maybe I'd settle for a i5, but I hope a 11 inch with 256/4 comes up soon.

The ultimate is only available from Apple I believe, I've never seen one on Amazon.

My guess is the base 11" 2/64 was the most popular. It's been sold out (from Amazon) for a few days and hasn't come back.

The cheapest version of most things is often the most popular. :)
 
I am having such a dilemma here...

I have a perfectly functioning 2009 MacBook pro 17", but I want the MacBook Air so badly.

I think i need to check them out in the Apple Store and see how good they are.

You'd better be quick if you wanna take hold of this coupon.

As of 7:58 PM eastern today, it's back with the possibility of having it delivered on August 9 with overnight shipping.

i think the ultimate models are considered bto's, something amazon has never sold. i'd want an ultimate as well, but the savings of the 11-inch 4/128/i5 is just too good to pass up.
 
Is it possible for someone to pm me the Amazon code, or is that against the rules?

I bought a MBA 13" ultimate yesterday, but will absolutely return to save a few hundred.

Sacrificing the i7 for the i5 is no big deal to me.

in the conditions of the promo, the purchase order has to be tied to the same amazon account as the kindle (where the coupon originated). i'm not sure if using someone else's code would work.

It will work, people are selling the codes on ebay. Average price seems to be about $50.

Understandable. I don't own a kindle and don't know anyone that does. That hurts!
 
Anyone know if it is possible to return those kindles (bought at bestbuy)

- one person had said it is not possible to return anything under the promotion, while someone else replied that you just can't return the computer for the amount pre coupon

- actually say I do sell my kindle, is it necessary to hold on to it until I get the computer delivered? (macbook air 13 I ordered scheduled for September)
 
Why wouldn't bestbuy accept a kindle return?

That said. I ordered from one account and reregistered it. I planned on registering it with another account. Maybe not a good plan!
 
Looks like Amazon stock has been refreshed. Base 11" is in again.

Thanks!

THANK YOU OP! You got me a free kindle with my base macbook air 13"! It still came out cheaper after buying it for the code! :) I appreciate it,
 
And the 13" base MBA just disappeared. ARGH!

Maybe that'll help me rationalize ordered the 13/4/256 instead of the 13/4/128. :)

There is no promotion on those Kindle and yes why would they not accept those kindle back?
 
Your Kindle will be accepted back! As long as it's in perfect condition, etc.

Also, as far as the details on the promotion. Amazon is saying that if you returen the COMPUTER, your refund will be what you paid. You won't be refunded the 20% discount, because you never paid the 20%. It has nothing to do with the Kindle itself being returned.
 
Basically, I paid 987 for my Macbook Air. If I return it, I'll get 987 back. I won't get the 1234.99 that it was listed for.
 
Woohoo, I got my code. I originally planned on returning my kindle, but it's so cute. I will keep it. It's screen is out of this world. It looks like real print. When I took mine out of the box, I thought the display had a transparency on it with print. For a few seconds, i was trying to figure out how to get it off. I didn't realize that it was actually the kindles display with text and graphics on it. The screen can show images frozen even if the unit is powered off.
