On its home page, Amazon.com announces that Kindles are in stock and ready for immediate shipment.

Since its initial introduction last fall, there has been a wait for anyone wanting to purchase a Kindle.  For a while, the supply tightness was reflected in the elevated prices being paid for Kindles at eBay.

Now it looks like anyone who wants a Kindle, can purchase one and get it very quickly.  Time will tell if this easy availability will now increase the Kindle’s popularity even more.
