I received an interesting email from Amazon today. Apparently they’ve decided to issue partial refunds to people who bought the Brush Print Leather cover for the Kindle Scribe back when it was still called the Premium Leather Cover and the price was $10 higher.

Kindle Scribe Update – Video Summary
