I have to agree on the shipping. I placed my order late on a Friday. I'm in Indiana and it shipped from Nevada on Monday. I figured three days tops. Strangely, I showed no movement in tracking until Thursday or Friday. I called UPS on Saturday because the delivery date was Saturday. I was surprised to learn that UPS outsources their Saturday delivery to the US Postal Service. Eventually, it showed up on my doorstep, but took six days. Still, I am really enjoying the reader and it was a great price. I wouldn't have paid $60 more to get it sooner (the price of a new one), so I can't complain too much.
