It was a borderline impulse buy, I was looking for a replacement for reading on my Palm T|X and knew I didn't like the Sony 505 ergonomics but the Kindle looked like it might do the trick. I'm glad that I didn't wait to order because I had my Kindle 2 days later (should've opted for overnight shipping) and if I'd ordered later that morning then it would've been weeks before I'd seen it.

I hesitated until the reviews came in on 11/20. It seems silly in retrospect since Amazon's return policy is so good. I ended up waiting until early December. Within a few hours of my order, the wait had grown to after Christmas. Then I decided to upgrade my shipping since I was THAT excited and the site wasn't showing my ship date for awhile. I nearly burst a vein in my head. I actually called tech support (which is something I rarely, rarely do) and fortunately it was fine.
