Late last month Amazon.com apologized for delays in Kindle delivery. Their apology said they would in a few weeks be able to offer an "order today, ship today" service on the Kindle. Whether or not they've actually reached that point, Amazon.com has posted a note on their front page today saying Kindles are back in stock.
"Ever since we launched our wireless reading device Kindle last November, we've been unable to keep it in stock, and we've had to work hard to increase manufacturing capacity. Today, we're excited to announce that Kindle is in stock and ready for immediate shipment,"Bezos writes.
It's not really ALL about the Kindle; to be honest, only the preface to the actual shareholder is about the Kindle - but that preface is indeed Kindle-centric. It's true however, that Amazon.com is betting a lot on the Kindle:
Your team of missionaries here is fervent about driving free cash flow per share and returns on capital. We know we can do that by putting customers first. I guarantee you there is more innovation ahead of us than behind us, and we do not expect the road to be an easy one. We’re hopeful, and I’d even say optimistic, that Kindle, true to its name, will “start a fire” and improve the world of reading.
If you want to buy Kindle, now that it's in stock? Here you go. I'm still worried about leaving it on BART, though I am sorely tempted.
