I picked it up through the Chinese online mega-mall www.taobao.com / www.tmall.com. This generally requires heavy use of Google translate and then a purchasing/shipping agent. The latter generally charge 5-10% commission (in addition to domestic & international shipping), but I found one, agencytaobao.com/ , that is temporarily 0 commission as a promotional thing.

The Chinese stores seem to generally refer to the i62HD as the "Boox Touch"/"BT" (and seems to always come in grey, distinguishing it from the non-HD "i62" which seems to always come in white -- the BT generally sells for around 900 Yuan, the i62 for around 800).

It was a total of 12 days from order to delivery (3 days internal domestic, 9 days international shipping). It was a fairly painless experience.
