Reduce EBS volume

I know about increasing, but is there a way reduce the size of an EBS volume? Like I've put effort into my AMI but soon realized it's way to big for my needs. It's a windows 2008 instance.

No answer. It seems like you can't do it.

You can make a snapshot of the volume and then create an ebs volume from the snapshot which is smaller. The snapshot will have a 'volume size' to give you an idea of how small you can go as I understand it.

I guess if the snapshot route doesn't work, you can just create the smaller volume, copy the larger to the smaller and then get rid of the larger.
