"shipping soon" here too. But afterwards it will have to be forwarded across the Atlantic, so you will all have yours long before me...

I ordered my Paperwhite from Amazon, but called Best Buy just to see if they'd have it in on Monday and one person said yes, but another today said they didn't think so. So who knows. My guess is they won't have it.

I've had very similar experiences. It's frustrating.

Hey.. thanks all to the quick replies.. I will head down to BB today and talk with another salesperson.. but BB is sinking.. As a professional businessman myself I see some of their problems... the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing..

*sigh* Do you suppose it's too late for me to change my shipping options in order to have my "not shipped yet" changed to "Shipping soon"? I'm trying to remind myself that I have fifty million things to do in the week before mine's due to arrive, enough that I probably wouldn't have much time for reading anyway, but...

*best Veruca Salt voice* I want it NOW!!

Wallflower, no! Don't mess with your order! Amazon usually treats that as a "cancel and re-order" and you may end with an even later delivery date..

I had chosen the cheapest (slowest) shipping method for my KB and it arrived (in Canada) less than 24 hours after showing "shipped".

Oh well. Mine will be brought by a stork. Next spring to Europe.
I will take bets who will be here first to post when you receive it. I can only drool.

Thanks in advance..

With Amazon supposedly having supply problems on these I last heard B&M stores wouldn't be getting them until the end of October earliest. Don't know for sure if it's true or not.

Moral of the story is I dont think/know that BB is a viable release day place to get it.
I know.. ask 5 different employees get 5 different answers darn near.. I usually buy online but want to take a shot at Local store in hopes of getting one sooner..
Thanks,

You can order now from Amazon to have one in the system and shipping queue. Then go to BB and other B&M stores to see if they have them. If one does buy it and cancel the Amazon order. If not, you will get one from Amazon as fast or faster than BB will probably get them.

... and mine still shows the 10th. I still think it will arrive earlier, but probably just a couple of days, not the week earlier I had been hoping for.
