Well at least here in the UK. I ordered mine last Sunday and it arrived just before lunch on the Thursday.

I am really pleased with it. I also have an old Rocketbook and while the e-ink on the BeBook is amazing to see, the speed is not a patch on the Rocketbook. I do think there is a still a way on to go on this latest round of ebook readers but I don't regret buying it one bit. The Rocketbook weighs 3 times as much as the BeBook and is far far bulkier.

The Bebook is so light and thin it is quite amazing (yes I know that the Cybook is lighter, but it is heavier on the wallet)

If anything the leather case detracts from the BeBook. Its almost as heavy as the device itself! Still it offers great protection.

All we need now is the mobipocket update. I believe it is already available for the Russian version of the Hanlin V3.
