Still nothing from Kobo. I called my credit card company just to check who that $200+ authorization is going to and it is, indeed, to Kobo.
There was some discussion here about whether or not to cancel this order and get an iPad, since we could get the iPad with no outlay of cash. However, we have a laptop, a desktop PC and a netbook. The netbook is our travelling device and it actually meets our needs better than an iPad would. (We can use a Rogers stick with that, so it's a more secure connection than a wifi would be.) We don't really need an iPad, it's overkill. I have a Sony reader that I really like, it fits in my purse and I take it everywhere. I was just waiting for a color reader, which is why I wanted the Vox. Actually, I'm surprised Sony hasn't come out with a color reader. The other stuff that comes with it is just gravy, and some of it quite unnecessary, as far as I'm concerned.
So maybe Kobo is just being uber-pokey in processing their orders. I do think, however, I should expect some progress tomorrow, which is a business day.
