I would never use a debit card for online purchases. If your # is stolen you bank account will be cleaned out vs just having large charges on a credit card.

Fine, we can go back and forth on this all day long or discuss the reader.
If it is not law most companies do not charge until the product invoices/ships. When I worked for Insight Computers we would authorize only. If it took a while for something to ship they would re-authorize on large purchases. Right before the items went into the FedEx pod your card would get charged. Many people get confused between an authorization and an actual charge. Never experienced the debit card issue because I refuse to use debit cards online. If I want to avoid any chance of interest charges I just do online bill pay when I see the actual charge hits my card well before I receive a statement. Problem solved.
Good luck to all who get the reader. If I can get an Irex before this arrives and I like I will cancel my order. I am going to read lots of PDF's vs books so in the end the best reader for PDF documents will get my business. B&N has really taken a step in the right direction and I am sure Amazon is busy planning the next versions of the Kindle.
