I want to see how Kindle sales pan out with respect to resellers. Considering that the past year has seen a surge in craigslist/ebay scalping (e.g. wii, ps3, iphone), I wouldn't be surprised if publicity surrounding the 5-6 hour sellout didn't catch the eyes of certain enterprising individuals. In their eyes, the Kindle might seem like the perfect item, having a single distributor, massive publicity, a high price as far as gadgets go, low shipping costs, and a holiday season introduction. I guess we'll find out within the week once the next couple of shipments go out.
