I guess they are a bit overwhelmed by the attention and interest their product receives and they are just working frenetically to iron out last-minute problems.

I also have a question for the European readers of MobileRead:
I will be leaving for Europe at the end of this month and probably i will purchase the iLiad while i'm there. Is the VAT in effect in all european countries?
I will be in Romania for the summer, and i'm wondering if i will have to pay VAT if buying from there.

If you order it from another country and have it be sent to Romania you will not have to pay VAT (as in Value Added Tax) but... you will have to pay duty. I don't really know if that's better for you or not.

If you buy it from a shop in Romania you will pay VAT (or TVA in romanian) which is 19%.
