Have you considered having the neighborhood kids set up an early notification relay, watching for the delivery truck? One of them about 10 blocks away on a roof-top with a signal mirror, another three blocks away with a bow and suction-cup arrows to be shot at the wall of the tree-house clubhouse, which will have the next kid slide down the rope and run across the street to your house to alert you as you sit on the front steps? You can then have your pen in hand to sign the delivery receipt before the driver comes up to your door!
Enjoy your Sony (You should have ordered the Silver one, but I'm sure the red one will hold almost as many words...) and welcome to MobileRead!
