This marks the second holiday season in a row that there has been a lack of supply of the popular device, but last year Amazon had the excuse that the item was new and production was not yet in full swing.
The Kindle, which is priced at $359 USD and exploded in popularity after Oprah recommended it, "uses an e-paper display to show pages from books and newspapers, which can be purchased and downloaded over its built-in and free data network connection, with the service provided by Sprint."
In other related news, the Kindle 2, which should improve on many of the features the first generation device lacks, has been delayed until spring 2009.
