I ordered the Kindle 2 from Amazon.com on Thu Nov 19 around 3 pm Toronto time ... UPS delivered it at 1 pm Fri Nov 20. I'm astonished.
The packaging is brilliant -- so Apple-like. Everything is branded; instructions are dead simple; you're up and running in seconds.
I wondered about the 6" edition but, hey, it is half the price of the DX and it "fully functions" in Canada (and Mexico where I vacation). After a few hours of use, I can't say the screen real estate is an issue.
Biggest drawback are the "international edition" restrictions -- no web browsing except wikipedia and no additional content in newspapers and magazines (aka photos). Hopefully that will be addressed over time -- especially since every Amazon wireless purchase has a "$1.99 wireless roaming fee" baked in.
Anyway, happy camper here and stunned by the elegant utility of the device.
