It was not available until yesterday, eventhough I could search for it in Kindle books. As of March 4th, it was still showing not yet available; Me and several people sent customer service an e-mail and 1 person also started a thread in the Kindle 2 forum about this and all of us got these generic replies from Amazon and 6 hours later 3 of the 4 books suddenly became available! Why should we have to complaint in a public forum to get results. Ignoring the problem will not fix it, it's people that takes the initiative that's going to make Amazon better! And yes, I've been observant enough to know that the problem is only the Amazon bookstore.

I see what you're saying. The 2 titles you gave as samples are back catalog items (they're available in paperback), and looks like Amazon has place holder pages using the date the books were supposedly converted but they aren't available. That makes sense for pre-orders but not for back catalog. It's confusing and frustrating.

I'm glad you got results even if you had to use the "power of the people" to get them.
