I just checked my email and was excited to see that my Kindle has shipped over a week earlier than I was previously notified. My "official" arrival date from Amazon was to be next Friday, January 11th. It actually shipped out today and is slated to arrive on Wednesday, January 3rd. This may not be the norm for upcoming or impending orders, but then again maybe they are starting to catch up with their backlog of orders. Just wanted to pass along the (hopefully) encouraging word.
