Yes, that would explain it. Mine had special offers and these seem to have moved first. I paid the extra $20 to unsubscribe while it was on its way. Hadn't planned to do that but didnt want the extra swipe to have to start reading.

Finally! It has arrived! and I almost missed it. The delivery guy rang the bell around 7pm, I had just gotten out of the shower and couldn't answer the door, so I ran to the front window just as the delivery guy was getting into his vehicle, and asked if he could leave it at the door. He said he couldn't. So I got my beau up from his comfy spot in his cave to go answer it. Of course he's moving at a snail's pace and couldn't care less who's at the door. The delivery guy said he can't leave it because it might get stolen and it's an expensive item. I think he's confusing it with a Kindle Fire, but okay. He has left stuff before, and without me yelling out the window to alert him that I'm home.
So my smart Alec beau, looked at the box and said, "Hmmm.... this looks like another ereader, but you already have plenty of those, so what could it be??" At which point he started tossing it in the air and playing catch with it. LOL... I tell ya! The stuff I put up with! LOL... |

If you're gonna take a shower you should probably keep a robe near by when expecting UPS. I use UPS My Choice so I know when to be waiting by the door. |

I did have a robe hanging right on the back of the door, but since I never wear it... I forgot. |

My PW has been 30 miles away for two days now... I guess that's what I get for using USPS free shipping, but still, that's two weeks sooner than my original ship date so I'm THRILLED. If it comes Thursday as Amazon says, I'll be very happy, if it's here when I get home from work tomorrow I'll be ecstatic as I'm off on Thursday. The other three in my house think I'm silly to get another Kindle, but no one seems to want my K3K. Daughter has a Fire, is too busy as a new teacher to do any significant reading, & the other two aren't big readers. I can't wait to try out the light (tomorrow night's O's vs NYY game would be a nice test). I predict it'll take a little time for me to get used to the touch screen.
