I got a call this morning from Astak support asking for my cc info in order to replace my PPro broken screen. She indicated that once it shipped, I would receive a tracking number, so I would assume new orders would get the same courtesy.

I was kinda of wondering, myself, regarding any shipping delays. Problem with asking for "2-day" or "next-day" shipping is that it is next- or 2-days after they finally toss it out on the sidewalk to be picked up (not literally, of course).

I have been waffling between a nook and a PLUS (so I can be assured of at least one working ereader on hand) for a variety of reasons, but not knowing when the units would actually ship, it was hard to know if my repaired unit or a new unit would arrive first, and whether either one would arrive before I left on my next vacation.

Btw, folks, having found that the nook battery life is apparently measured in (10-15) hours, not days, the PLUS is looking a LOT better. I guess the nook will last for the advertised 10 days if you turn it completely off between uses, but I'm kinda spoiled from being able to take the PPro to Hawaii for 10 days (standby between reads). I only charged it before getting on the plane home because being down to the last bar made me nervous. Since then, I have found I can use it down to no bars, and for almost 2 hours after it starts TELLING me the battery is low.
