Amazon should have more correct and consistent messaging.

A year from now, I would have only the vaguest memory that the date was missed. |
I just don't get vexed about stuff like waiting for a product (unless it's like, um, medication my life depends on). It comes when it comes. However, since they did put a specific date on there instead of just "You will now be placed on a waiting list" with no date, they have given me certain time frame expectations.
Better to be vague or just say, "We'll email preorders and update this page when a firm date is set for you to receive your new Kindle."
I'm not gonna die if I can't have it right away....I can always read on my computer or my old Sony Reader.
Or, hey, a real book with pages.
