Hmm. I bit a couple of days ago, because I talked the rep into giving me the 16GB for the 2GB price, and because it would do all the things I wanted at a swallowable (new word!) price point, without having to root or get tricky with it. I've also discovered, through my work-owned tablet, the e-reading on a higher resolution is by far more enjoyable than the 800Xwhatever specs on budget laptops. I don't need multi-core processors, nor can I afford them, so I'm pretty satisfied with the specs. My Coby pales in comparison, and I was happy with it until it died.
I won't be charged until it ships, so if they cancel on me or something, then I'll just wait for the holiday sales to happen. I wonder if the pull from the website has anything to do with people complaining that the base model is 2GB instead of 8GB and they're rethinking their decision? They'd be a Fire smotherer if they went with the original 8GB for $199.
Or maybe they had to pause on orders because they are in back-order mode on pre-orders?
