Use the "kindle feedback" link.

They need to hear more like this so they'll know why people are canceling/not buying.
I also cancelled my order within minutes of placing it, after I got over my "I gotta have it!" moment, and moved everything to my wishlist, pending final decision. Sadly, I didn't filled the feedback box... but if I had, I would have argued that since I've been using sony readers since the PRS-500, (and my ebook collection is quite substantial at this point), what stayed my hand in this purchase was, precisely, the fact that I just couldn't port my library into the new device, as I did before with my 505, and are not about to re-download/reconvert all those books.

I think that one of the major drawbacks that Kindle has had since it was launched is it's poor format selection (including the nigh ubiquos .PDF's). That vs. wireless downloading anywhere has me sitting on the fence on this one.
