Mine's arrive, and I'm pleased with it. I think you will be too (I also have a Gen3).
I must say, the Kindle is a bit of an odd choice if you think Mobipocket is on the way out, since that's the format the Kindle uses!
Although the good news is that you can read the books you've bought for your Gen3 on the Kindle, if they don't have DRM (anymore).

I have a cybook gen3 but geographic restrictions are impacting on me very heavily and I think mobipocket is destined to not make it. The 160 000 books available to South Africa have tipped the scale for me.
My concern is that I have heard that the rollout of the kindle is premature and the wireless facility will not be available. That does not bother me too much but what other concerns are there around this device. It is a bit late now as it is on the way but has anyone else heard any negative news on this device?
