The subject you started this with was my comment about it does not say "when".
Now you are starting to drift onto another subject, about wither or not they are in violation of the license agreement.

Yes, it's natural drift, as it's already settled that it *does* say when - on release. On release you should have offer available, saying how to obtain source code. As it's "written offer", it should for instance also say how long it would take to get it if it would travel through traditional mail (but right, license does not require that). When providing URL, there's of course no need for that.
Here it doesn't matter at all, as there is no such offer, so GPL is already violated.
And it's not hard to get in touch with some "appointed agent", for instance of Busybox developers (Busybox is used on Kindle), as eureka already quoted. In my opinion we should do that if they won't provide source in ~2-3 months. Now I would give them some time, that doesn't seem to be bad intentions, just some organizational thing.
