Re: Kindle: Amazon\'s new wireless reading device

Amazon isn't disclosing how many Kindles it actually had ready to go, but apparently the idea of a tiny e-book reader with free EV-DO and the visual flair of an Apple IIc hit home for quite a few people, because they sold out in just five and a half hours. Amazon's site says they'll be back in stock on the 29th, but availability is first-come, first-served, so it looks like you'll have to act fast if you want to get one before gift-giving time sets in.

Of course they might have only stocked a small amount for the first shipment, thinking it would be good for the hype, but that's kind of an overly cynical POV, esp since they know people who do their christmas shopping online are getting busy these days.
