Amazon Kindle: Are you tired of waiting?
According to Amazon NowNow, Amazon shipped approximately 4,000 Kindles. This number may be true or false but the number has me wondering about the number of people waiting. If you are tired of waiting - and the waiting is turning to anger - what are your thoughts?
I asked in Amazon NowNow, why isn't Amazon releasing their sales figures?
A nasty answer came back stating: "Why do you care?" I care because the number of sales validates my interest and purchase. I am human - and happier when a large purchase is made and know other people made the same purchase.
A second answer stated Amazon does not need to release the sales figures. Well, they could generate more excitement - unless they are hiding something. Of course, there is an obvious snag. By not releasing the sales numbers then some people think something is wrong.
Finally, a third answer suggested Amazon did not sell that many Kindles and does not want people to know this information. OK. No big deal. I love my Kindle and consider myself to be one of the lucky ones. You will be happy when you get yours too.
We ordered a kindle as late as December 21st, and I imagine we'll wait eons before we receive as much as a delivery date.
I'm more perplexed than angry. And I would have been much happier had I received a date by which they would e-mail me with a delivery date.

In response to the question of how many Kindles have been sold, we at nownow know about as much as you do (little or nothing). We're not hiding some big secret--we just don't know...Amazon isn't telling us either how many they've sold
