So it's either in stock or it's not, and it's either already on its way or it's not. So that's cleared everything up for me
Well there might be some truth in that coz I was told that it had been dispatched and was on a van yesterday even though it was still saying dispatching soon and this morning my order status changed to dispatched. So hopefully yours will change soon as well.

I ordered on 3rd August and have received an email saying it is dispatched, but estimated delivery date is 6th September. That seems a long delay.

NB it is being sent to a UK address.

Hubby just picked mine up from the neighbours, and its charging away nicely, should be fully charged by the time I get home

My one arrived by standard Royal Mail - not Special Delivery (which was surprising, given the value of the item). Thankfully I have a good postman.

It's always the next reader that's the best one . After having had my K3 for 3 days, though, I am delighted with it. It only has one significant flaw, in my mind, which is that the 5-way navigation control is too small (or perhaps my fingers are too large), but I can live with that.

should be getting my 3G one tomorrow.......fingers crossed I know I will love it, its killing me reading all your thoughts on it and I can't see mine yet.

I know what you mean.......is it bad that Im still waiting to see the new Sony readers? I just am addicted to gadgets and especially ereaders!

I noticed that you said that, but I've not had any problems - even with my fat fingers. What I find myself doing, in case it helps, is pressing the ridge to go up/down/left/right with my thumbnail held at an angle, and only pressing it as a button with a finger/thumb if I want the middle bit.

I would have thought as a Psion afficionado you would be a master at manipulating tiny keyboards with your thumbs while holding a device

I have been out tonight but i had a play before I went out and I love it, its so fast and responsive, the screen compared to my Sony Touch is amazing, I have started to load my books via Amazon and Calibre, and put them into Collections, and its so easy.

I am also pleased and surprised how discrete the keyboard is, I thought it would look ugly, in comparison to my Touch, but its quite sweet, I'm not having any problems with it at all.

That was 20 years ago. I'm obviously a little out of practice .

I hope mine don't come via the normal postman as he comes at different times everyday. I hope it comes today.

I'm waiting on mine today too. Just got excited when a Royal Mail van pulled up and gleefully took the box from the postman only to find it addressed to hubby - his book purchases grrrr.

Please hurry up now postie!
