Just think. If you had ordered direct, you would have had it weeks ago
Yes, we've given up shopping BB, too. Although Worst Buy does seem a better name for them! And yes, I should have just gone and ordered directly from Astak. All this trouble just to try to save a few dollars...

Do most people load their books to the card, or directly to the reader? Is one better than the other?

Good idea, thanks! I think I'll just wait until the next day (after charging over night) to do the firmware upgrade, just to be safe.

Thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions! I ordered it this afternoon, so hopefully it will come sometime this week!
