I also emailed Bookeen about the status of my order, 739X, placed Dec 7, and received this message:
New production plane was delayed and only landed tonight.
Your order is scheduled for shipment tomorrow (Thursday).
If everything goes as expected, you should receive your order on
Friday/Monday.
Sent email this morning asking for status. I haven't received a reply to this latest inquiry, and no news yet from FedEx either. Anxious to hear when anyone in this batch of orders receives the FedEx message.
PS Just checked my email, and was all excited at the incoming mail, until I found out it was just MobileRead confirming that I joined.
