Amazon is offering free one-day shipping for the Kindle

I love this.  Amazon is offering free one-day shipping for their Kindle starting tomorrow December 23.  This means you can buy the Kindle up until midnight (EST) on December 23, 2009 and still have it delivered in time for Christmas.  (There is free 2-day shipping if you buy it today.)  What an awesome way to bring in new customers. 

Kudos to the Amazon marketing team for coming up with this marketing idea.  But I think the real credit should go to all of the Amazon people who made the free one-day shipping a reality.  I am sure tons of marketing people have had the idea to use free one-day shipping right before Christmas to promote a product but have not had the behind the scenes infrastructure to actually pull it off.
