Thanks for the report, Tom. Sounds pretty much what I saw except for you not seeing any on display. I was there two days ago and they were all over. Second floor near the Yishan Rd. entrance, not quite across from Watson's? The big, open maze area? Maybe they only bring them out on Sundays for the big crowd. Or maybe you caught them on inspection day. Inspection visits are usually pre-arranged; gives the vendors time to clean up so the inspectors don't have to bother with paperwork. Hard to write with a greased palm.
And everything I saw on Sunday had the duokan firmware. Sounds like a different place on weekdays.
In any case, congrats on the purchase. What did you get? K3? 1400 was right in line with what I was being quoted on Sunday, and much cheaper than the Sonys. Quite a bit above the Amazon price, but probably worth it to have it now.

You might want to take a look through the duokan thread here; you should be able to scare up some screen shots that'll at least tell you whether you're running the original firmware or duokan. But if 3G is working, it's got to be the original; it's my understanding duokan doesn't support 3G yet.
Myself, if I did buy a Kindle, I'd have to install duokan. Gotta have epub.
