OK, a LOT then.

You're lucky. They shipped mine on the 13th and I still haven't gotten it. I live in Sydney too.

This will be my first eReader so I'm really looking forward to getting it.

Thanks portablejim, so I'm one of the 3 who ordered first. On that theory, mine should arrive TODAY. If it doesn't I am going to start getting grumpy.

Viviena, aren't you the lucky one? Wonder why yours slipped through but no one else's has?

Alright, another day of waiting...

Hmm, some might say we're getting a bit obsessed with this

Don't forget that we have no way of knowing if the shipping date is actually correct. Who's to say borders shipped on one day and didn't update the system until the next. Or the other way around.

Damn I wish we had tracking information.

Yes, you are all an obsessive bunch. I don't know what the big deal is -- the KT isn't that great, it's just another e-book reader. You'll do fine with what you have currently.

Oh who am I kidding .... I'd be chasing my mail person down the street if I had to wait for it ... I was just trying to reduce the pain you were feeling for not having it yet. Fortunately, I think you'll find it worth the wait whenever it does get there (volcanoes notwithstanding).

My ship date is the 13th as well. I've been getting up early to wait for it to arrive for a week now. Still nothing. Whenever I hear a vehicle go down the street, I wonder if that will be it. Never is, haha.

Yahoo - mine is here! So those of you who ordered on the 13th, today could be the day.

Haven't even opened it yet - need to pick up the kids, pay the dentist a visit and a couple of other things before I can start. I think it will be a can of spaghetti for tea for my kids tonight!

Luxury. When I was a child I dreamed of a can of spaghetti for tea... I'm sure you all know the rest of the sketch.

Enjoy the new Kobo, Pippa. Can't wait for mine to arrive.

Updated my summary table. Hopefully the table will be complete shortly, with all the arrival dates.

Hey I'm really pleased that someone down here has finally received one.

Good luck to the rest of you who are still waiting. Congratulations kiwipippa I just read that yours has arrived too!
But now that I know they will really deliver to the Southern Hemisphere I have to stop procrastinating and choose a COLOUR!!

What I REALLY REALLY want is a black front but a blue quilted back. I much prefer the black to the white when I'm reading and I know I can't actually see the blue back while I'm reading but they shouldn't have made them look so nice....
