Nope, in a fairly large city in California.
That said, it's now "Out for Delivery" as of 9:20 this morning!!! Now I just hope that I got a good one, given the horror stories I've been reading! I have to admit that I've lost some of my enthusiasm. |

Some people really love theirs, maybe it depends on one's eye sight. Mine is very good.

I asked Twowheels the same thing! Maybe the delivery system in your area is transitioning... maybe. LOL...
That's what I was thinking. One person may notice the bright spots on the bottom, another one notices the shadows on the bottom. |

If people are getting 3G Paperwhites as replacements for non-3G units (as reported), then why did my 3G Paperwhite get its shipping date pushed back four weeks? Even a non-3G I ordered days later arrived here four days ago.
If there is a shortage of 3G kindles, then why use them for replacements? If no shortage, then why the big delay on my order? I hope it is not because I ordered three when the per-customer limit was five, and now they changed the limit to two. |

I keep hoping that all these crappy units will be replaced by them a few months from now, in which case I would just hold on to what I have.... so depressing. Coming to think about it, this is creating the type of shortage an iPad would cause, but it is kind of artificial at this point. |

I got one 3G and one Wifi SO today, actually, but I only got the 3G because they were telling me how it was impossible to get any replacements for the Wifi SO until 10/16. Lo and behold, hours later, the Wifi SO's are magically available for overnight shipping again. I would like to understand what the heck is going on in these centers.

Yeah! I finally got mine! I'll write up my impressions in a more appropriate thread! [overall, I got a good one, though I see what people are talking about, and I have some ideas to share]

Got in touch with my "supplier" in the states. Ordered on the 2nd, est. ship on the 25th, as with most people I read about. Would love for that to get bumped down a week or so, but like I said -- after shipping from Florida to Canada I'm just happy if it gets here early November
