Though they say it is due to “Customer Demand”, we all know the real reason behind it is the Barnes and Noble nook.
In response to the nook, Amazon has cut the price of their US/International Kindle to $259 as well as combined the US and US/International versions.
What about those who already bought it? In the announcement from Amazon, they also say they will be issuing a $20 refund to those who purchased the US/International version. But I wonder what will happen to those who bought the US only version? They now have one that is the same price as the US/International version, and the same price as the nook. If I was one of those individuals, I would be livid knowing I just bought it and this happened. In fact, I would cancel my order or try to return it and just buy a nook. I mean that’s what I would do, but you don’t have to do that. And I don’t either, since I already have a preordered nook.
