What? Please to be 'splaining?

I have two fairly large orders pending at Amazon.  One is for early in the year releases, with a delivery date of mid-February.  The other is for later releases, with a delivery date of early May.  One of the books in the early bundle was Meljean Brook's Demon Night, which I'm quite anxious for after reading a big excerpt.  But I noticed today when checking my account (posting a seller review for a used book, thxmuchly), that Demon Night wasn't part of the larger bundle of books to be delivered in early February.  For some reason, it was all by its lonesome, with a shipping date of March 25th.  Huh?  What?  Please to be 'splaining, Amazon.  Because I am not inclined to wait nearly two months for it.

On Rough Canvas:  still gathering my thoughts.  Was totally sucked into the story and loved it.  But also a little frustrated by some of it, when I take a step back and think objectively.

On Shadow Marriage:  holy moly, is this book full of Romancelandia cliches.  I'm a little embarrassed that my 16 year old self loved it so much.

Hopefully, that's just an estimated date (six-eight weeks) for re-stocking if they sold through their pre-order and have to wait for more from the distributors. If it is, I'm sure they'll get more long before that time.

*sigh* I understand why Amazon does this, but the whole point of pre-ordering (for me) is to know that it will be shipped on the on sale date. Seeing that March date makes me want to cancel the pre-order and just buy it in a bricks and mortar store on release day.

Yeah -- and I think this happened to a few people with Demon Angel, too. You would think that they would at least have enough for their pre-orders to have ready for shipping.

If you do buy it from a brick-and-mortar, Borders is knocking a dollar off the cover price, no coupon necessary or anything.

Thanks for the tip!
