Got mine today!! Ordered on 22 April, it shipped from Hong Kong on 24th, and FedEx delivered today (signature required). I ordered the Ivory Aura HD & Onyx sleep cover, and both shipped together.

Set up over WiFi was flawless!! Once WiFi connected, it immediately downloaded firmware 2.5.1, without a hitch (mostly). There was 1 place (Device Info?) that still shows version 2.5.0.

As I'm new to Kobo, I'm still acquainting myself with the UI. But 1 thing that stands out - the light is, IMHO, heads & shoulders better than the KPW light (yes, I have a KPW - since the day it was released last October). It's not even close! The light is even throughout, with nary a hint of splotches/ blotches like those that plague the KPW.

So far, it's a keeper & I fully expect it will become my main reader!
