Rather than have people wait 3 months for a Kindle, let them wait 3 months for a Sony.

Actually, Sony seems to be working on this. If you type 'Amazon Kindle' in google, the first sponsored link on the right hand side is that of Sony.
[Edit] The order of ads on the right hand side seems to change constantly.
