I understood the distinction.
But it could just have gone the other way, where SO Kindles got delayed (in fact I think that has happened in the past). It is the same hardware but a different SKU, and I assume that is determined before they boxed up and shipped from China. It takes something like a week to deliver a shipping container from there to the USA, so if there were not enough Kindles in transit to meet preorder demand, it has to wait for the next batch to arrive.
