Amazon’s CEO, Jeff Bezos, shot out a personal note to customers apologizing for the Kindle’s sold out status. Apparently, they weren’t prepared to sell out of the eReader in 5.5 hours. He says they should be back in stock in the coming weeks and that they will ship the day you order. The Kindle cake is the ultimate geek compliment, he says. Joy.
Cakes must be a chick thing.
My wife made me a cake of a watch she bought me for my January birthday (the Kindle was a possible gift choice, but since they were out of stock);

Unfortunately, the manufacture of the watch was delayed until the first week of March, it was a long wait…but worth it;

Otherwise, the novelty of the Kindle has worn off for me.
