Our US Army did that with one model of capture/destroyed German tanks and missed the actual production quantity by only one. Of course, that means figuring how what all the numbers and letters mean. Sometime they refer to dates as well as quantities.Inklinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05272203500649628022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-82875356638278883402011-06-25T04:39:17.966-07:002011-06-25T04:39:17.966-07:00gabal,

You lucked out. Perso...Anonymous at 12:39 am PDT<br /> You lucked out. Personally, as I've said in the blog, my Kindle is my refuge from the onslaught of ads in this world. I don't want even that last book slot in my Home page used for it.<br /><br /> Some are complaining that it's constant Oil of Olay lately and they're tired of it.<br /><br /> Others do like the minimal Special Offers that can add up, but it encourages spending of money when you're not feeling a need.<br /><br /> Amazon doesn't ordinarily do upgrades, but that extended warranty turned out to be a good choice on your part. Do you notice how much crisper and clearer the text is on the K3 screen? For me, it's addictive.<br /><br /> At any rate, you got a good deal! <br /><br /> Interesting that your model is B006A ! That's two out of two now. Mine is B0060.<br /><br /> Your software version MAY later "tell" the next software update that your Kindle is meant to be updated with the SO version of software, but if your software switch for ads is turned off, it may remain turned off (or it may do a check on the situation and then turn it on).<br /><br /> Just thinking outloud.<br /><br /> At any rate, congratulations!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-41812835224291734782011-06-25T02:28:01.247-07:002011-06-25T02:28:01.247-07:00Eo, you need to check a box while commenting, that...Eo, you need to check a box while commenting, that lets blogger.com know that you want to be notified re other comments in that thread.<br /><br />Your question and my response are in <a href="http://bit.ly/kwdisc-comments" rel="nofollow">the discounted books blog entry</a>.<br /><br />Let me know you've seen it though after you get this.<br /><br /> I totally agree with you on 3G.

The K3/SO arrived UNREGISTERED for some unknown reason and I had to re-register it. The model is B006A and it has the K3/SO software version of 3.2.1 which is only for the K3/SO. BUT it does NOT HAVE ANY ADS!!! <br /><br />Amazon's CS said the hardware is all the same with the K3 and the K3/SO, but that somehow in sending it out, a software switch was turned off making it a regular K3 (even though it has the 3.2.1 Special Offer version software). CS said I could simply keep it and consider I saved myself another $25 or I could return this more valuable K3 for the cheaper K3/SO, or he could send a trouble ticket up but it could take days or weeks before they figure out how to remotely turn my K3 into a K3/SO. I decided to keep it as it is. I have the full 1-yr warranty on it and if there's any trouble, I'm sure I can just send it back for a replacement K3 or K3/SO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-37320689538317468232011-06-24T19:39:36.531-07:002011-06-24T19:39:36.531-07:00theboardbitch,

It...theboardbitch,<br /> Thanks for that 5th character.<br /><br />It sounded promising, as my K3 Regular is B0060, so I thought there might be a pattern.<br /><br /> BUT, my Kindle 2 is B002A, my Kindle 1 is B001C and my Kindle DXG is B009C -- so that 5th slot seems to be reserved for keeping track of another numbering system already.<br /><br /> On the other hand, I can't close the book on the idea, since the Kindle 3 is the only one so far with Special Offers, and my 5th character is a '0'...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-30567147221348045212011-06-24T19:35:33.836-07:002011-06-24T19:35:33.836-07:00I can't seem to find whether this question tha...I can't seem to find whether this question that I thought I asked a few days ago made it into the comments or whether you had time to answer it, Andrys. I would like to know whether you think accessing the internet in non-wifi situations with the Kindle 3 is any faster than accessing the internet with the Kindle 2. By the way, when someone sees my Kindle 2 and comments on it, possibly mentioning that he/she is thinking about getting an e-reader, I usually point out the free internet access. I don't think I have ever found anyone who knows about that. It happened again today at my dentist's office. <br />Thank you,<br />Edwina O'TooleEOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07806526289418426619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-33753565685349015382011-06-24T17:52:53.082-07:002011-06-24T17:52:53.082-07:00my Kindle special offer wi-fi's serial # start...my Kindle special offer wi-fi's serial # starts with B008 The fifth # is an AAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-62696533716634235882011-06-24T17:29:19.590-07:002011-06-24T17:29:19.590-07:00Thanks, Cat -

It makes sense in that they've used different numbering only for something different in the hardware.<br /><br /> Since this would entail software changes only and I SENSE that they will offer the 'special offers' to regular Kindle owners, that there's no real difference, BUT I wonder if they have a different 5th number because when they have us upgrade our software, they usually help us identify which version to download depending on our Serial Numbers' first 4 characters (before the SO models).<br /><br /> Maybe give me a 5th number so we can compare that slot's contents with others with SO's. No, not 'significant others' :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109282436243758435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-872447660964013545.post-38142704449825437362011-06-24T17:08:56.970-07:002011-06-24T17:08:56.970-07:00well, i just checked. my KSO 3g?
