Oprah may not have caused and instant sellout of the Kindle this year, but the millions that Amazon says it has sold has hit a temporary stopping point, as the Kindle Wi-Fi is now showing a 3-5 delay in ordering and is marked for delivery after Christmas! Maybe Amazon should have waited another week before increasing the number of Kindles per customer to five from three.
You can still get a Kindle 3G + Wi-Fi or a Kindle DX to put under the tree ... at least, here in the US. All models are sold out for international customers. In the UK, only the Kindle Wi-Fi is still in stock for Christmas delivery. At least in the US and UK, ordering one of the out of stock models should still get a unit by around the end of the year; international customers are still looking at a month or more for delivery.
Here are the links all the various models and their current delivery status.
