I just bought one from a Sony Style store in a different state than the one I live in. The salesperson initially said he could not sell it to me, but after I told him the online store was backordered, he asked the manager about it, and the manager approved it. The fact that I could not get it in a reasonable amount of time from the online store was the deciding factor for him.

As someone else posted earlier, I had to fax my payment information, then receive, sign, and fax back to him the credit card authorization form. They are shipping it to me FedEx Ground at no charge!

Can't wait for it to arrive!!

Just received my FedEx tracking #. Very exciting!

Thanks go all who posted about the Reader. The material at Mobile Read helped me make the decision between the Reader and the ILiad.
