Thanks for this info! My BB order still shows "preparing for shipping." It's been that way since yesterday. But if BB is shipping UPS Next Day Air Saver, there is still hope that I will get it tomorrow!

Interestingly, a friend of mine ordered from Amazon with an expected ship date of May 2 and delivery on May 4. But she says her credit card was just charged and her status changed to "preparing for shipping" — but the estimated ship date is still May 2

Given that it took days for the Oasis to be popular enough to be on back order at Amazon UK, I suspect they might have offered a fair few to other retailers

What a statement.
Oh yes, let's all jump in our Lear Jets and meet in Monaco for lunch and an afternoon read. Then head to Paris for a nightcap.

My own lack of affluence is precisely because I do spend all my spare money on travel, so I can claim two out of three .

A firmware update for the Oasis just showed up on the Amazon Fire & Kindle Software Updates page.

The latest software version for Kindle Oasis (8th Generation) is 5.7.4. This update automatically downloads and installs on your Kindle Oasis when connected wirelessly; however, you can also manually download the software and transfer the update to your device via USB cable.

This update includes performance improvements and other general enhancements.

Mine has said "preparing for shipment for over 24 hours now. How long does it take to prepare for shipment?! Getting impatient here. I want it tomorrow.

Just now got notice that it shipped. No tracking available yet. Shipped by UPS.

Not sure if anyone has watched this yet (Kindle Oasis unboxing). Just to get the buyers more excited of what to expect...

My estimate on Amazon is Friday, but UPS currently estimates they can get it delivered tomorrow, end of workday ... I hope they make it :-)

Cancelled the walnut after viewing photos of the merlot cover in another thread.

I'll have my Oasis tomorrow - in Seattle, and I'll be sure to post some impressions regarding screen uniformity, - something that has prevented me enjoying any Kindle since the Kindle Touch (despite my wife having every Kindle since, and the uniformity issues not annoying her enough).

Meh. If you're spending $300 on an ereader in 2016 then that puts you in either the upper middle class category or the unwise spending category.

The fact that you consider it unwise doesn't mean that everyone shares your view. Even people on low incomes sometimes save up to buy nice things!
