Just a head's up.... I've been on the fence about what tablet to get, so I was waiting for reveiws on the 8.9" fire hd before ordering. It's now back ordered to December 3rd

It looks like this is the case for all 8.9 models.

To be fair, you had a few months to preorder. It's only natural that has the release date gets closer and closer, that their initial preorder stock will dwindle down.

you can get it at best buy as of today 11/17/2012

If they won't let you pick it up because "they want to hold it for black friday"
Tell them they aren't even advertising them in their black friday ad.
