Many items are backordered and will take 1 to 2 weeks to ship, but at this point everyone who has ordered a Kindle can expect to have it in time for Christmas. Amazon has not said if they plan to offer any more deals for the holidays yet. There are many advantages to owning the device, especially if you are a fan of the ebooks. With the Amazon Prime membership, you can be part of the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library with free books and no return dates. The online library is appealing to many users and one more thing to entice even further sales of the Kindle before the holidays are over.
