here is another reply I got about the issue

quoted from my email:

Please be aware that due to strong customer demand, the Kindle (Latest Generation) is temporarily sold out. As all orders are prioritised on a first come, first served basis, we will ship your Kindle to you as quickly as possible and will keep you informed by e-mail as we get more precise delivery dates.

I can inform you that the reason as to why the delivery dates for your order are currently stating October is due to the fact that the device will only start being dispatched from the end of this month. Therefore, closer to this date we will be able to provide you with a definite estimated delivery date which will be in early September.

this is from Amazon UK today. I sent separate queries about 2 orders, one I got the standard email blurb, and the second I got this reply which seems more open and to the point we are all worried about.

EDITED TO ADD: this was concerning an order placed 3rd Aug for Sept 4th delivery, by the way.........my order placed on 31st July is still on schedule to ship on release apparently
