My order can’t be filled? What does that mean?

I ‘ve just had a couple of e-mails from concerned readers who just got a notice from Amazon.com that they are not able to fulfill their Breaking Dawn order.  Don’t panic, it doesn’t mean the book won’t be published.

Here’s what I believe the deal is, but we will give you more firm info when we can. Months ago Amazon advertised a pre-order and gave a release date that was not official. This release date was confirmed as not official by Stephenie and her publicist. So, (this is guesswork on my part here) Amazon had to tell people that they couldn’t fill their order because frankly there was no way they could fill them on the date promised; therefore they had to cancel to avoid false advertising actions.

Additionally, if you look up Breaking Dawn on Amazon’s website, it says that you can sign up to get an email when the item becomes available.
