Kindle back in stock, ahead of promised April 24th date.
The Kindle is finally back in stock at Amazon. The flood gates are open.
Watch the promo video for more information on the device.
I’ve now ordered a Kindle twice and canceled my order prior to shipment, both times after waiting more that 4 weeks. I was really close to a delivery on one of those shipments. It’s difficult to decide whether or not this is the device I want or whether I should wait for a v2. Thoughts? Any Kindle owners out there want to weigh in in the comments? Your help and knowledge are appreciated.

Kindle V1 is a fine product. It’s not as sexy looking as the Sony reader - but the convenience of the built-in Amazon store is really great. This is the perfect travel companion - no more lugging lots of books and newspapers around for reading material on the plane.
I wouldn’t think a V2 is due any time soon. Bezos says that things like color are possibilities, but many years in the future (look how long it took to get the e-Ink technology out of the lab and into production).
(one more thing) - a little known fact about how the Kindle Store works - it you register multiple Kindles on one Amazon account (i.e. shared among, say, family members), you can all download the same purchased books. So there is some (limited) pass-along capabilities with this device, despite the DRM.
