Yes, the way I read it is they've sold out the first batch they expect to get, and the second will come a week later.

My order est. is end of Sept. and I ordered it when it was released. If they delay too long, I will cancel and just wait for the new Sony, which probably won't be too far behind.

My order estimate has gone out to 7-11 October, although the product page still estimates shipping on or before 4 September. I did choose free shipping, but that doesn't take a month! When they slipped a week, it looked to me like marketing, but a month is a more credible delay for producing significantly more volume.

I'm still excited. I think it's worth waiting for. I do hope I get my Kindle before my next scheduled travel in October.

"Initially it was expected that Seattle based retailer will ship the new version of Amazon Kindle by August 27. However Amazon.com has delayed it for a week to September 4." Of course, I don't know how accurate this site's information is. |

You are likely right. I hope. I just ordered one yesterday and wasn't even given an estimated date. Hopefully I will get it before Christmas. lol.

Mine was ordered the day after the pre-order started and I still haven't got a shipping estimate but the case that I ordered at the same time says it will be shipped on the 27th.

Hopefully you'll get it a lot sooner than Christmas . I ordered one on the 28th and one on the 29th and they just say "We'll notify you via e-mail when we have an estimated delivery date for this item" in the order status for both of them.

Hey! Mine says that now too - a couple of hours ago it said 7-11 October!
I wonder if they've been swamped with orders. |
