Sincere question - Have you checked to make sure they didn't leave it on the porch or side of the house (it's happened to me)?

I hope not as I live in an apartment. It wasn't delivered to the front office, and the UPS tracking still shows Out for Delivery. Plus I've been home all day.

Ah well, sorry then. I was just feeling empathy for your waiting - I hate that late-day delivery, especially for a first-generation device. I get to do the post-sundown stakeout tomorrow . Good luck.

If they do not get there by 10pm Call UPS and give them the tracking number. They can check for problems that may not show up on the tracking site.

It arrived at 8:07pm! Just registered it and it is downloading/installing 6.1. I had wished to look at the reading app before it installed 6.1 to have a comparison, but no such luck as it immediately started updating once I entered my WiFi PW.

BTW @Blossom, the AC power adapter has a cable built in so no need to find a USB cable for charging. Unlike the K3 charger which needs a separate cable, this one is permanently attached.

They finished the interstate going from Asheville into TN...that helps a lot. I drove from TN into NC through Boone many years ago and the road was so twisty I almost needed Dramamine.

We traveled that early this year when we went to Black Mountain.
I use to live in Boone. Good ole highway 321 or was it 421 you took? Very twisty indeed!

But that's nothing compared to coming down the Blue Ridge parkway from Roanoke to Boone driving a Ryder truck and a car trailer behind it in blizzard conditions with the song Free Falling playing in the background and no shoulder in site just miles and miles of drop offs. Ah the memories...

Yes, 321 from Johnson City and 421 through Boone. I love BR Parkway (not in snow storms!) but my favorite part is:



Because road isn't actually connected to anything (it rests on pilings), you have an odd feeling that you're flying around the mountains. Avoid any mind-altering drugs.

Ah the Linn Cove Viaduct. A wonder in it's making. It's even crazier looking from underneath. I live by J.C. Next you'll tell me you love the mile high swinging bridge! 3 times was enough for me on that bridge but I love driving over the Viaduct or stopping at Price Lake when we go for a drive there. It's not that far really.
