Amazon.com is not specifying any particular delivery time for Kindles on its web site.  It suggests customers order and get in line for a Kindle.  Aside from the now-shrinking number of Kindles on eBay (post-Christmas), getting “in line” at Amazon.com is the major way to get your hands on a Kindle at this point.

If you haven’t been at our site lately, come take a look.  We’ve exchanged our somewhat austere appearance for a more lively and colorful one.  It should be a lot more fun to read.

With Christmas almost here, the number of Kindles on eBay has shrunk greatly.  Right now there are only ten Kindles at auction and the lowest “Buy It Now” price is $1,000.   It will be interesting to see what happens to Kindle pricing on eBay after Christmas — when demand will presumably be less and Amazon will be shipping more Kindles.

Looks like Kindle’s are holding their own on eBay.  Right now you can get one on a “Buy It Now” basis for $825.  That’s still quite a premium over the regular $399 purchase price at Amazon.com — but there’s no wait involved.

At the moment, it looks like the cheapest, “for sure” purchase you can make of a Kindle is as an eBay “Buy It Now” deal.  The least expensive offer appears to be this one going for $748.50.

“Buy It Now” prices on eBay are showing a slight downward trend.  And, the number of Kindles on eBay is rising.  At present there are 32 being auctioned.

While the supply of Kindles is increasing on eBay, “Buy It Now” prices are still high, ranging from $900 to $1500. If you want a Kindle right away, you must be willing to pay a premium price.
