Pre-order is live now! Delivery date is Nov 30. I'm not buying one - not interested in note-taking ability at all, and no buttons. I also think it may have the plastic Paperwhite screen so I'll stick with my Oasis and wait and see if that is updated.
Enjoy, everyone who buys this, I may join you at a later date.
Actually, if Amazon introduce a two page split landscape view for this reader, I will buy it. Over and out.
