I took the plunge and ordered an Iliad from Libresco this morning. I soon had an email back from the MD (who's been very helpful answering several technical questions in the past few weeks) saying he'd let me know when it would arrive as soon as he had a tracking order for delivery. I've just had another email to let me know that the European distribution hub has run out due to "unprecedented demand" since the new year, but I'm at the top of the list when more go out in the last week of January.

I'm obviously a bit disappointed, but OTOH, "unprecedented demand" seems like a positive thing. It seems to bode well for the future of the device.
