Free Amazon Kindle Promotion →
Hesitant about ordering an Amazon Kindle? The online retailer is apparently making a very tempting proposition to some of its customers: go ahead and order a Kindle, and if you don’t like it, you’ll get your money back — and get to keep the device. In other words, if you’re not satisfied you’ll get a free Kindle (and an Amazon-branded cover). Talk about putting your money where your mouth is.
This is only being offered on a limited scale right now — It’s also obviously designed to entice these users to make impulse buys, as the promotion ends in only five days. Also worth pointing out: the promotion ends just over a day before Apple’s upcoming event. Perhaps Amazon is looking to grab any book-loving holdouts before the Tablet lands?
To those who can get the offer, it looks like you’ll have 30 days to make up your mind. Amazon isn’t making it excessively easy to make your money back — you’ll have to actually Email or call their support staff. I suspect this will work out in Amazon’s favor. They’ve almost certainly done market research showing that bibliophiles love the device, and how likely these users are to request a refund.
