Kindle supply and demand
March 20, 2008
There's a message from Jeff Bezos on Amazon's home page describing the company's success with the Kindle. According to Bezos, Amazon sold out of the device within the first 5. 5 hours after its announcement, and have been struggling to keep up with manufacturing.

Some customers have waited up to 6 weeks to receive their order.
I have to say I'm slightly surprised to learn this; the only people I know of to have bought the Kindle are those of us at 800-CEO-READ (we have one). Jon posted his impressions of the device here: http://800ceoread.com/blog/archives/007546.html.
Have you purchased or tried the Kindle? What do you think?
