Maybe the ones not preordering books have the right idea after all... it's a little bit like this:

http://xkcd.com/281/

*refresh* Aww, still on preorder.

I live in the wrong time zone obviously. In Germany I'm one and a half hours into the 25th which is supposedly the release date of the book I preordered (given on German Amazon no less) but apparently I have to wait until it's the 25th everywhere else too and then I have to hope they release in the mornings there instead of the evenings since otherwise it'll be the 26th by the time I can actually start reading it...

It doesn't help that the book apparently leaked weeks ago. Dunno how that works really - what's the point in DRM if the pirates already have copies BEFORE anyone else has even a chance to actually buy the book in order to pirate it?
