Order now to reserve your place in line

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.

Ok, yes, Sept 4th is only a week after the original launch dates of August 27, but it is telling that Amazon not only sold out of the Kindle 2 once it lowered the price (no doubt a bit before they really wanted to, as it was a month before the release of the new model), but has now sold out of the production run of all models of the Kindle 3 (yes, even the white ones, which were underselling the graphite ones by a huge margin, from what I've seen).
