Kindle for Christmas? Better hurry up
December is here and Christmas is around the corner. If you are thinking of getting a Kindle to give for this holiday season you’d better buy it soon. 2 years ago the Kindle was sold out way before Christmas.
Last year Amazon said that they had enough stock for the season… but they sold out again! If you wanted to get a Kindle last Christmas season this is the message you would see:
Due to heavy customer demand, Kindle is sold out. Please ORDER KINDLE NOW to reserve your place in line. We prioritize orders on a first come, first served basis. This item will arrive after December 24
Actually, the Kindles were sold out for several weeks, they started shipping in late January of the following year. If someone wanted to buy a Kindle last Xmas the only way was Ebay… and paying 3 times more for it (I saw auctions for Kindles with a price tag of $900!!)
Don’t let this happen to you… better safe than sorry, if you want a Kindle, or want to give it as a gift, buy it today. It is ranked as one of the most popular gadgets for 2009.

Now that the holiday season is winding down. It’s becoming a little easier to get a new Kindle
there is still a wait but now it’s down to 8 to 10 weeks instead of 11 to 13. So if you’ve got some Christmas money and still didn’t get that Kindle you wanted.
