Amazon may have missed the boat a bit by failing to introduce the Kindle's second rev before the holiday season, but such a misstep seems to have had zero effect on the company's popular, Oprah-endorsed ebook reader. Customers looking to pick up a new unit from the site in time for the holidays are out of luck.

Amazon now lists the Kindle's shipping date as 11 to 13 weeks (though, gift-wrap, for the record, is still available). Amazon adds,

Due to heavy customer demand, Kindle is sold out. Please ORDER KINDLE NOW to reserve your place in line. We prioritize orders on a first come, first served basis. This item will arrive after December 24. Note that Kindles cannot currently be sold or shipped to customers living outside of the U.S.

Amazon still has listings for used units via third party sources. The used items, however, begin at $519.99--that's up from a $359 new retail price.
