I pre-ordered from Chapters/Indigo on Tuesday (after being assured that they would ship to the US and that I could send it back if it was defective). I got a shipping notice on Wednesday that said it could take two or three weeks to get to me because of customs inspection. The notice didn't have any tracking info.
Much to my surprise it arrived today! The package had a tracking number so, out of curiosity, I looked it up on Canada Post -- item processed in Mississauga Wednesday, item arrived in foreign country USJFKG Thursday, item arrived at the delivery office in the destination country 64114 USA on Friday, delivered 64113 USA Friday. Very impressive.
So far I'm very happy with it. The screen/lighting is a bit more towards yellow/beige than that on my Aura which is more towards the gray side; I have a slight preference for the H2O coloring. The light is very even. The text is very crisp and clear although, admittedly, my eyes really aren't good enough to be aware of the difference in resolution.
The software version is 3.7.0, which it said is current. I tried a few of my USB cords and they all worked. The H2O is recognized by Calibre 2.5 so I was able to sideload books.
Now all it needs is the Gecko Wetsuit, which won't ship until the end of the month.
