The press release doesn't say exactly when this will start. Amazon is trying to speed the adoption of the Kindles.

Amazon itself sometimes undercuts Kindle prices, and almost always some booksellers on the Amazon Marketplace undercut the Kindle. There's no indication about what books might be offered through this program."
