Wow - it is sold out again. Hevy demand for this lovely little device!

Well, one thing there never did tell us was how many units they got in for the last shipment. So we cannot say how heavy the demand truly is.

You can follow the order numbers. They seem to be linear. The first/lowest around 2000. The last number I have seen was above 10000. So they seem to have sold at least 8000 units.

I thought the lowest was around 3k, not 2k.

My order, placed early the first morning they were open for orders, was 2427.

That doesn't change the number of orders. It only slows down the delivery

tribble · 02-07-2008, 04:25 PM

Indeed, and therefore explaining, why they are sold out again.

DDHarriman · 02-07-2008, 06:28 PM

Mine was 746**.

I would say that from last begin of delivering (25th January?), and counting the ones who where stolen, they had had a batch of 2.000 to 3.000 units.

Amazing how fast they have been selling them and Kudos to Bookeen to the effort they have put into deliver them.

So there should be a couple of hundred appearing cut-price on EBay fairly soon

JSWolf · 02-17-2008, 11:22 AM

So will these couple of hundred stolen units be next on the Bookeen delivery list?

I would hope that they re-supplied people who were on the waiting list, waiting for faulty machines to be replaced, etc, in preference to new sales.

I would hope the stolen machines are also sorted out before any other new orders are sent out.
