Hopefully all of you who were enticed by Amazon's new, smaller Kindle didn't sit on the fence before hitting the 'submit order' button. If you did, you may have to wait until September to get your paws on the new eBook reader.
"Due to strong customer demand, Kindle is temporarily sold out. Order now to reserve your place in line. Orders are prioritized on a first come, first served basis. Orders placed today are expected to ship on or before September 4th.," Amazon wrote on the Kindle's product page.
That's a delay of just over a week from the original August 27 launch date, but if the new prices prove popular enough, that date could get pushed back even further. Amazon released two new models, a Wi-Fi only version for $139, and a Wi-Fi + 3G unit for $189. Both devices are 21 percent smaller than the last-gen Kindle, but sport the same 6-inch reading area.

No sale. Dang, and I really, really want a Pearl E-Ink reader too. Don't care a whit about the keyboard tho.

I just got a Kindle 2 last week.. This sucks.. Is the screen the same size? Mine has 3G.

The new Kindle has a much better screen resolution, is faster page flipping, and a longer battery life. Return the Kindle 2 and order a new one.
