It's here! (and charging)
Can't quite believe it, but my Kindle arrived about 15 mins ago. I've got it charging up at the mo. It's so swish & cute. I haven't started loading anything on to it yet. Will report back later.

Can't wait to hear your first impressions. Especially about the smaller page turning buttons.

I didn't see this thread, before I posted mine, but are you in the UK? I spotted your location as England

Ordered mine on August 6th (WiFi model + cover). They shipped the leather cover this morning. They wrote they will ship the Kindle separately (didn't tell me when), although I asked them to send me all of the items together.

Does look like they sent all the wi-fi only ones out first then. I ordered 29th July for 3G Wi-Fi and mine is showing as delivery from today to Saturday 28th.
Case has been despatched separately but the shipping was upgraded to expedited for free. |

Very exciting! Kindle is not my bag, but any new ereader release is still an event. Especially a new Kindle.
I know you will love it! Post pics of the new baby! |

Here's a quick pic of the mobileread forums from the Kindle. The photo's pretty big so people can see the quality (though bare in mind it's pretty poor lighting) http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c2...isc/Kindle.jpg |

Congrats! Which one is it? 3g or WiFi?
I looked at the 3g version in the morning, and went through the order process until the point of payment, to look at the shipping charge to India. It said it would be shipped only after 17th September. If only it had a memory expansion slot, it would have been the perfect device for me. |
