Question about Kindle version of The Dictionary of Modern Proverbs

[Garson O'Toole]

Amazon says it has "The Dictionary of Modern Proverbs" in stock.
Amazon also lists a publication date of May 22, 2012. So apparently
the book is on sale early. (More evidence that publication dates are
fictional.)

I wish to purchase a Kindle version so I can search this fundamental
reference quickly electronically. (I am assuming that the Kindle text
will  be searchable.) But when I click on the Kindle link the
following message is shown:

This title will be auto-delivered to your Kindle on May 22, 2012.

Has anyone purchased the Kindle version? Is this message accurate? Is
the Kindle version embargoed while the paper version is being sold?
