Amazon Kindle eBook Reader Sold Out Through Christmas

Amazon's Kindle Sold Out Through ChristmasIf you planned to get your hands on one of Amazon's hot little eBook readers before Christmas, we're hoping you've already ordered. Amazon's Kindle reader dropped a few weeks ago and has already taken the world by storm -- despite being little more advanced than Sony's Reader. The Kindle is now so popular that Amazon can't keep up with demand, indicating that any new orders won't be delivered before Christmas.

Amazon's product page now warns: "Because we ship Kindles on a first-come, first-served basis, please ORDER NOW to reserve your place in line. Your Kindle will not arrive by December 25th."

We all know what that means: it's time for eBay Kindle craziness. A quick search this morning showed auctions for new Kindles closing for well over $800, twice what Amazon is asking.
