For what it's worth I think you're both right.

The Guardian article does clearly indicate that Amazon customer's were not able to purchase the ebook. It's using this Amazon thread as it's source though.

There weren't many posts in the thread so it appears to me that the Guardian article was a baseless and it's not likely that Amazon changed anything based on that thread. More likely it was a glitch switching the website from "not available for preorder" to "available". A few people said that they couldn't buy it around 5:45 am PST and one claimed that the release date changed to June 24th.

One person claims that they preordered the Kindle edition and it showed up on their Kindle on June 19th, so tompe is also correct that some people were able to preorder it.
