Ordered mine on 8/31, from what I read didn't really expect it until 15th at the earliest, started to wonder how to contact Kobo about the order since it didn't show up in my account...

And then it just arrived today at the office, without warning, notification or tracking (in the greater L.A. area)

I have tried many an eBook reader over the past couple of decades, and this one might really be IT for casual reading, big enough screen, hires enough, snappy; I just dumped ~300 epubs on there and "Processing..." took barely a minute if that, much faster than my other eInk readers.

But most importantly the color temperature option. Ever since Apple introduced it on their tablets (I know others came before) I have reaaaally grown to love it in the evenings, and to get this on a front-lit eInk reader that you can also use in bright daylight d^_^b

The only issue is the case/cover. I got a cheap adaptable 7-10" one from Amazon, it gets the job done, with PLENTY of protection left all around, but I'll look for something svelter.
