I did read it firs on 248am.com blog. and the the post was like this:
So Amazon just released the Kindle which according to them is what the iPod is to music, the Kindle is to books and magazines. It looks really ugly but the concept is really strong and I think has a lot of potential. You purchase books and subscribe to magazines and newspapers through the Kindle device and it all works wirelessly without the need of a computer or Internet connection. The problem is the device connects wirelessly using EV-DO which I know very little about and I doubt works here in Kuwait. You can check out the Amazon page for more information and better pictures.

and now after 5.5 hours only :
Amazonisn’t disclosing how many Kindles it actually had ready to go, but apparently the idea of a tiny e-book reader with free EV-DO and the visual flair of an Apple IIc hit home for quite a few people, because they sold out in just five and a half hours. Amazon’s site says they’ll be back in stock on the 29th, but availability is first-come, first-served, so it looks like you’ll have to act fast if you want to get one before gift-giving time sets in.
