Just to clarify the fire hazard thingy...when I called my local Borders to see if the eReader had arrived, they said, "yes, they just came in, but we haven't unboxed them because we can't sell them. There's a fire hazard with the display." I then asked him whether the hazard was with the in-store display setup or the screen on the device. He said it was the in-store display, so I mentioned that that shouldn't prevent them from selling the readers, they just couldn't put up the display. He thought for a moment and agreed, so I went in and got mine after work on 10/23.
Anyway, I've been reading both it and some p-books for the last few days and will try to put some thoughts together for a brief write-up soon (fear not, it's all good generally speaking--no eBay for mine!).
Finally, good luck fellow gadget (and book) hunters! I was back in the same Borders a couple of days after I bought mine and they told me they were all long gone. They had originally received enough to cover their preorders and about four to sell normally.
