No Kindles for Christmas
Dec 19, 2008
So my number one "Want" on my Christmas List is a Kindle, but apparently Santa's elves and Amazon are not on the same page this year.
The over-priced eReader is SOLD OUT. Obviously someone is
getting a Kindle for Christmas. If you order one now, you'll be put on
a wait list. Estimated delivery is a whopping 11-13 weeks away.
According a TechCrunch article at the beginning of December, the Kindle 2.0 will be released in the early first quarter
of 2009 (would that be 11-13 weeks from now?). I have high hopes that
the price might drop a little. Heck, drop it to $299 and it makes a
psychological jump from almost $400 to less than $300.
Maybe the Valentine's Day fairy will bring me a Kindle.
