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.)
Well I may be waiting till after the 25th by default. It is scheduled for Monday delivery, but based on the UPS tracking info, I'm not sure it will get here. Its in a city 90 miles away and if they don't work till Monday, it won't get here for delivery on Monday. I leave Tuesday morning till the 27th, so it may be I wait till after Christmas!!
