I think they were probably told 3 weeks ago that they'll get stock in 2 weeks so they probably put it up as 1-2 weeks when you pre-ordered it in the hope stock would arrive. Seeing how quickly Kobo.com has gone out of stock my bet would be that they probably only have a hundred or less units coming over from Canada followed in 2 weeks by another set of drip feed stock. Sadly most companies always have stock issues at new release, even Apple do. I don't think I've ever seen a company that has sufficient stock at launch, if they do then their sales and marketing must be pretty bad.
