Well, I'm another idiot then ...

I pulled the trigger the same date, and pre-ordered my Paperwhite Kindle too. Like you, I'm also trusting Amazon on this one.

The only drawback I see of being an early adopter is resale value, assuming we sell after a year or so. It happened to me with my Galaxy Tab 7 inches and with my Kindle DXG.

And let's not talk about wives ... mine is not so happy with my paperwhite purchase, especially after my recently Nexus 7 purchase few weeks ago.
