I've added a reminder to the front page of the forum, together with a picture of Melbourne that is probably irrelevant, but pretty.

Just checking in to say I will almost certainly be coming. I have a work Open Day thing in the morning but unless it is mayhem there I will be sneaking out early for the meet-up.

I look forward to seeing how many people have the new international Kindles.

I'm about to get on a plane out of Melbourne. I've enjoyed my week stay near here and was particularly pleased with the delightful people I met. I'm sorry to miss your meet-up and hope that you have a great time! Oh, and I now can fully appreciate the difficulties some of you have in getting to your meet-up site. I can only hope that you cope somehow with the growth here. Cheers!

I'm sorry that I couldn't make it today. I had one sick child and came down with a sore throat myself.
I really wanted to come. I just so much like talking about e-readers and with all the new devices coming out, it's quite exciting. I just saw the photos & it looks like you had a good time.
I hope to be able to come next time.
