Like the McRib is prone to do, the Amazon Kindle is making a triumphant return.
The slim, boring-colored e-reader debuted last year and, though skeptics said that a device to read electronic books was a losing proposition, the device has been sold out since November.
It’s now in stock at the Amazon.com store. Still costs $400, still includes free wireless access for downloading books, browsing the Web and e-mailing.
Unlike the Apple rumor mill, there’ve been no indications that a new or improved version of the Kindle is on the way. And if product shortages are any gauge, it sounds like Amazon is doing just fine with the version it’s selling.
And, hey, it looks like you can subscribe to the Statesman via the Kindle for $5.99 a month.
