lol I was just coming to make a thread! I got the same email.

I ordered mine the moment the page went live.....where is my email!?!?

Glad to hear they are coming early, can't wait. Now if only they could figure out the lighted covers.

This ^^

Also got an email saying that! Great news, but I am getting mine exported out of the USA, so I have to wait for my lighted cover regardless...

Stingo · 11-13-2011, 08:25 PM

I got the same exact e-mail. I ordered mine a day or two after they announced it. It was originally set to arrive on the 23rd. Very cool!

Also got the email, ordered the Touch a few minutes after they appeared on the website.

I wonder at the change. I wonder why they separated the Fire and Touch release dates by a week to begin with.

Still, a nice development...

Stingo · 11-13-2011, 08:39 PM

My account now lists the touch as shipping soon. The delivery date is Nov 15-16. Interestingly, the lighted case now shows "not yet shipped" delivery date Nov 15-23. Interesting.

Skydog · 11-13-2011, 09:24 PM

Interesting -- received an email pushing the delivery date for my KT 3G to 11/15 but the KT wifi only still shows a delivery of 11/22.

Kindle Fire delivery date now 11/15. Woohoo - excitement times two!!!

Really? Do you have a tracking number showing the point of origin yet?

nynaevelan · 11-13-2011, 10:17 PM

That is great for you guys, I sure hope I get one of those soon.

Well, snap, I've killed Amazon.

What the heck is going on with Amazon? I just checked again and now its got the lighted cover back to Nov. 23. Fortunately the touch still says the 15th.

Oh noes!

Congrats on all getting their Touch early!

This forum is going to buzzing with both releases at the same time.

I am so glad I canceled my pre-order! I wouldn't have the money this soon and it would have messed up my Kindle Fire order. Now I got to keep in mind Amazon can release stuff sooner then the original date.
