At any rate, my point is that Amazon faking a shortage (or even just not trying very hard to correct one) is certainly possible now or in the future, as it is definitely a viable marketing strategy. At this point I think it is unlikely, but I still wouldn't be surprised.
Could it be that the Kindle is back ordered enough that what stock they do get goes right out the door and that is why it's not listed as in stock?
