Just FYI, my shipping status still displays yesterday (Sept 3) as the shipping date. I called CS to see what they had to say. Of course they are totally clueless and gave me the standard CS spiel about it will ship when it becomes available and that looks like Sept 16. "Available immediately" and Sept 16 don't seem to jive, but there is really no telling when the new readers will actually be available or start shipping. My guess is later than sooner. No big deal as I will get it when it gets here.
