Sign up for MyUPS

Sign up at UPS for the MyUPS service. Its free. They send you an email the day before delivery of the delivery date and a 2 hour window. You can then change the date and / or time to your own prefences.

For a small annual free you can get one day delivery on all Amazon shipments.

Plus, you an call UPS and have them waive the signing requirement for all deliveries. I have no signing requirement at my house.

I have one of those, though it's currently "Shipping now". :-) I ordered it a while ago, but no rush shipping and all. I wanted to get rid of the big pile of USB chargers sitting under my table in the living room. I hope it's as good as people say it is.
The original ones are good, but the new ones with iq in the name on amazon are better due to the greater flexibility with the ports.

So I finally decided to pre order. Should be here 11/19/2014. Amazon doesn't charge until it ships right?

If you have a gift card balance on your account, they will take that immediately. The balance gets charged when it ships.

Nah, I used a debit card. Thanks for the confirmation guys. Kinda wish I had jumped on this earlier so I could get it on release day.

Keep an eye on local stores, especially Best Buy, during the first week or so after release day. Also keep an eye on the forum posts here at MR around that time. People often post when and where they find them in stores. You may find it available in a store long before your unit ships. If so, just buy locally and cancel your order with Amazon.

Always, always, pre-order the instant it's announced. That way you can cancel your pre-order if you change your mind. Wait a few days and there's always a long waiting time.

Just cancelled my Voyage order. Very happy indeed with my Kobo H2O and I'll stick with that for the time being.

It is!

Bought one on impulse from Argos here in the UK a couple of days ago, and very happy with it. I'm sure I'll buy a Voyage at some point, but the H2O is considerably cheaper, and does exactly what I want.

My pre-ordered Voyage (I'm in the UK so I have weeks to wait yet) has turned up on the list of my devices online already. Is this usual? Maybe a sign of early delivery?!

It's entirely normal, and I'm afraid doesn't indicate early delivery. Sorry . It just means that it's available for you to send books to it, and they'll all appear on it when you get it.

I never considered the Kobo, being primed to jump on the latest iteration of the Kindle. Since I email all my ebooks DRM free via Kindle/Calibre, I guess I'm sorta stuck in the Kindle ecosystem (with the kind assistance of AA).

I don't recall ever hooking my Kindle up to the PC via USB. But I could.
