I just looked at the Kindle in my local Target, I went there specifically to do so. The display was on an end cap, the unit was powered but in demo mode. They had 4 or 5 different covers on display underneath. A sign saying Kindle 3's would be there some time in September.

I really wanted to try it out (wanted to try the keypad and notetaking, etc.) and was disappointed that it was not a working unit. What's up with that?
