IV nogo on kindle, again

[Peter Petto]

When Inherent Vice disappeared from the Kindle store, I contacted  
Amazon to ask "what's up?" and was reassured that my pre-order,  
scheduled to ship on 8/4 was still in place. When I woke up this  
morning I received instead this email message:

> Hello from Amazon.com.

> We’re writing to let you know that Inherent Vice by Thomas Pynchon

So I still have a pre-order! (but not the book & audio, which have  
shipped but probably won't arrive until tomorrow.) And the decision,  
should I abandon or postpone completion of my re-read of AtD now at  
p782 which I had planned to complete last night?
