I just called the BN in DeKalb, IL. The guy I got said they wouldn't have their display up until next week, and sounded very disappointed about the pushing back of ship dates to Jan. 15th. I gather by this that this BN (which is the closest one to me at over 40 miles), won't have physical units to sell, either, before maybe next spring, at the rate things are going.

EDIT: Barnes and Noble in DeKalb called back this morning. They do have their demo unit, but not any for sale at this time. Since we're about to be hammered with the season's first big snowstorm, it will be at least this weekend and possibly longer (Chris has a paper due this weekend), before I can get over there.
