After a delay since the holiday season last year, Amazon has remained quiet about a possible restock of its Kindle ebook reader - until now. On the front page of the Amazon web site, Amazon founder and CEO Jeff Bezos announced the company has a fresh stock of the ebook reader ready for shipment. The Amazon Kindle costs $399.

Amazon received harsh criticism after building up hype for Kindle's launch during the holiday season, then selling out in less than six hours with a very large back order. Officially released on November 21, 2007, Amazon promised the availability of more units on November 29, quickly apologizing for the miscommunication and lack of units available for purchase.
