Noted on a Kindle thread, but the Kindle is back in stock as of 1:30 PM (PST) today (Saturday the 19th). Let's see for how long...

That's really what it says. Let's see if we can cause a slashdot effect on Amazon.com.

Yep. Ordered a second one (for the spouse) on April 15, and it shipped out today.

Friday was a pretty amusing day to watch the Kindle home page. It went from "in stock, shipping immediately" to "shipping April 24" to "in stock soon" and then settled on "in stock April 24th." Now it's just "in stock."

I meant from the point in which eInk announced that they would be doubling screen production. Then again, this may not be directly related.

E Ink did not announce it was doubling screen production. That was PVI. The maker of the displays.

So how long (when) did they stop shipping?

I think they offered this first in November of 2007?

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.

Yes. The first Kindles were sold on 19 November. It took Amazon 6 months to the day to solve the supply problems.

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.
