Don't take my word it. Here's the Press Release from eInk:

My eyeballs have seen both my wife's Kindle 3 and my Nook on 1.5. The difference is very minor since the excellent 1.5 update. Both on page turn speed and on contrast they are VERY close to the same now. The Kindle screen is only a smidgen better IMO.
It's weird to get angry at a company because the shipping company sucks and is taking too long. USPS and UPS can both suck. IMO the only decent, reliable shipping for me has been FedEx. If you wanted it faster and can't wait, pay for the faster shipping *shrug*. I expect if I'm a cheapskate on the shipping (which I almost always am) that it will take a bit longer to arrive. Amazon Prime being the exception.
Don't forget that Monday was MLK day...a USPS holiday (if it is coming via USPS and not UPS).
