I noticed that if you order one today with one day shipping, Amazon says you will have it by the 25th...so it appears that the Kindle 2 isn't sold out.
Given the hype about priortizing customers, etc..I wonder if Amazon expected another sellout and sales aren't what they had hoped for. (Given the economy, I would guess the fact that its selling is a good thing).
Either way, I may need to take a break from the boards so I'm not tempted by all the happy Kindle 2 customer reports
