I actually ordered mine in my local Waterystoones

. They where checking that I could pick it up as well and as they havn't got back to me I assume it is all OK

- But you know what the brits are like.
I too looked round the internet to see if I could get one sooner but all the sites (not ebay whch are selling American ones

) say the release date is the 26th, which suggests to me that Waterstones get exclusive sales rights for two weeks before the others can deliver the Reader

- which sounds like a Sony trick to me
