While Amazon does manipulate prices any given customer might see when browsing the site and has admitted it a few years back, I don't think they are faking it about the availibility of Kindle's.
Unless there is a cartel setup between the various component mfg's designed to artifically inflate the component prices. I find this doubtful also.
Still we have no idea what is up, especially as one mfg is supplying displays to several device lines. And this is the case people go off in fun tangents...
But it's simple, want a Kindle, order one and in about 10-14 days it will arrive.
No matter, I feel all ebook devices are about 50% over priced. No matter what is happening behind the scenes.
