If so, you can go ahead and order books. I'm not sure whether they'll actually appear in the Kindle when you take it out of the box, but they'll show up under Your Orders in Manage Your Kindle, from where you can initiate a new transfer to the device if necessary.

One question. If you bought the Kindle as a Christmas present for yourself, will you have to wait until 25 December before opening it? And did you remember the gift wrap? (Sorry, didn't mean to sound facetious.)
You are correct, books can be bought for it and will be downloaded on your new Kindle the first time you turn on the whispernet. I had purchased several books while awaiting my Kindle and as soon as I turned the wireless on they plopped right onto it!
