ABC News has a March 16th story about the continuing shortage of the Kindle, Amazon’s electronic book reader.
Julie Ann Shapiro’s debut novel Jen-Zen and the One Shoe Diaries is among more than 100,000 digital titles for sale on Amazon’s Kindle e-book reader. But the author is one of many readers who cannot get hold of a Kindle. “I wish I could tell you I had one,” she sighs. “Most people I know are frustrated about not getting one.”
Amazon launched the paperback-size gadget to considerable fanfare last November. But prospective buyers who click on the Kindle links at the top of Amazon’s home page are informed that due to heavy demand the product is “temporarily sold out.”
The company takes Kindle orders on a first-come, first-served basis. But the online retailer won’t reveal how many have been sold or when supply will catch up with demand.
