I ordered two from Dell for $99, and they are in already even though they only promised after the New Year. I don't know what Dell US is like, but the Canadian site ships stuff fast.

With color and backlit I didn't order it expecting great battery life, those are power suckers. Out of the box it is in "torch mode" with brightness at 70%, which I dialed back to 10% to be easier on the eyes, and should be more power friendly. I just finished a book on my Libre and will be doing some reading over the next few days to check it out.
