Well, it arrived here. It's got a nice black line of 'dead' pixels, sigh.

edit: Apart from that it's pretty damn nice though
And that's exactly why I want to buy in a shop, not from kobo direct, but as we currently have no UK retailers selling this device I'm in for a wait

That is my preference too but I don't know how long I can hold out waiting for WH Smith and not press Buy on the Kobo site.

Ouch, just went to see the sleep cover on Kobos site, £30 is about expected, but then when I got to checkout postage was £34 or so, there's no way I'm paying £64 for the cover!!!

My order info shows that Canada Post left my H2O on my front doorstep. With nobody home I have a locked community mailbox but they didn't use it.

I have a friend that received hers today. She's not a member here. Hers was damaged. The bottom third of the screen is black. She said the box wasn't dented, or anything, so I must have happened in packing the unit in the box.

Now she's waiting for a return email from Kobo. I wished her luck. I've been waiting five days now for a response about a book I couldn't download or sync.

That's outrageous. Should channel that anger in a complaint letter. Hope the device is in stellar state at least.

I've had no need so far to contact Kobo's support, but most of what I read indicates borderline sloppiness; is that a commonality?

Where do you live? No, just kidding.

But seriously, I hope everything is OK when you get back.
