In my mind, I'm trying to connect it somehow to the original $119 offer, the seller of which was so vague. Looking at the Amazon site it looks a little vague as to where the item is coming from. An elaborate scam?

I note that the reader is $20 off everywhere, and would advise any potential buyers not to buy from Amazon.

That's creepy af. I wonder if something like that would have happened if the product to be delivered was a Kindle.

Looks almost like Amazon is using corporate terrorism techniques in order to make sure their flagship e-reader will keep its dominant market share.

"Oh, so you want to buy a KOBO, instead of a Kindle?? REALLY?? Then we'll send you this 15 inch Wooden Bridge Candle Holder, hope you have a good read between its lines."
