My nifty Amazon price drop tracker just popped up and alerted me to a $40 price drop on the Kindle. Not only did they shave a bit off the price, they are also shipping them for free with 2 day delivery.

Great news for first adopters of the Amazon Kindle! You just lost $40. Unless of course you purchased one in the past 30 days, in which case Amazon will gladly refund the price drop.

It’s either a sign of customer service, or desperation, but Jeff Bezos himself has posted another of his letters to the main page of Amazon reminding you that you can order his revolutionary Kindle.

It’s taken them 5 months to get production up to speed but they are finally at the stage where you can order, and actually get one the next day, instead of having to wait 7 weeks.

Now, why can’t Nintendo mange the same with thier Wii?

The "Wii of e-book readers" is finally in stock with Amazon.

I’m not sure whether this means people have stopped buying them, or that Amazon has their production up to speed.

If you were thinking of getting a Kindle, act fast, because there is no telling whether this will last, or whether it’ll go back to the "5-8 weeks" delivery time Amazon had since the launch back in November.

I’m not sure whether it’s just a smart PR move, or if sales of the Kindle really are exceeding all their expectations. But it’s been close to six months since they first started selling the Kindle, and it’s still on a 6 week backorder. I’m actually quite grateful for this, because it meant I was able to sell my Kindle on Ebay for $120 more than I paid for it. Supply and demand is a great thing, if you are on the supply side of things.
