They've been shipping all this time in increments. It's just that the stock was all spoken for as it came in. People that ordered between November and now went into a queue to receive Kindles as they came in. The wait seems to have been averaging about a month.

I think it's a little premature to say that Amazon have "solved the supply problems", Nate . All the device manufacturers get their machines in batches; about a month about you could buy a Gen3 straight from stock, too. Lasted about a week . I'm sure that in a few days, the Kindle will be "out of stock" again.

$399 is not an impulse purchase. The first-in-line crowd has been satisfied. Let's see if the Kindle can go mass-market, the way the Wii has...
Maybe if it got mentioned in the main stream press (not tech blogs), then it could trigger another wave of buyers... |

Is this really news?
Could you imagine if every shop you know sent you emails saying that products that weren't are now in stock.
What makes this news? Yours wondering, AndiRob |

I don't think that's really analogous. This is a board focused on ebooks and reading devices. There are many people here who have been waiting for Kindles. Amazon didn't email everyone with an account and tell them it was back in stock. We're talking about it here because it actually is a matter of some interest to this group just like when the Cybooks were in short supply.
