Sigh. I live in Canada, which is only several hours drive North of San Jose. You'd think it would be faster. My unit was accepted by USPS four minutes before yours. Now mine is stuck in customs:

@Toeknee -

If your tracking number is like cpxxxxxxxxxus try entering it in the Canada Post tracking site. I put mine in and it showed up right away - and the schedule was right, too. OMG!

Thanks, pholy.

I didn't even consider entering the same code into Canada Post's tracking site. They have my package as listed in customs too, but they at least provide a little more information. Now I know that the port of entry is Vancouver.

Still waiting...

Ok, a little info about my unit:

After i first got it i just put it to charge (with the charger, not by USB). After 3-4 hours the light turned off (full charge) and the icon at the screen showed it as full; i DIDNT disconect it but turned it ON (while still connected), navigate a little, open the manual and then turn completly OFF, after that the light turned on again (like is charging) and got like that another few hours; i just leave it as that until it was the 12 hours charging cycle (counting since first conect it)

While the first time i turned it ON i just spended 1-2 minutes browsing and looking at the included manual while charging; after that and the cycle of 12 hours charge i havent got ANY problems with the unit. (Already read 450 pages and still showing 4 bars)

Mine should be here soon too. Left International Dispatch September 25th, so given the weekend etc I'm expecting sometime Tue/Wed. From what I have read Australian customs are pretty good and getting things through.

Already have a SD card with books ready to go!!!

Mr. Robert,

I wish to buy a Pocket Pro, but unfortunately I don't have a credit card. Is there a way that Astak would consider payment by Western Union. Or is there anybody out there who could buy for me and I will repay all expenses incurred.

I am working in Qatar and there's no reseller over here of any ebook reader.

Thank you and regards.

I believe they do accept paypal, and paypal can link directly to your bank acct. That's how I purchased mine.

Just received my PEZ I didn't have much time to play with it. Just loaded some books, downloaded and installed the new firmware and now it's charging.I hope it will have a full belly after a 12 hours meal The package arrived very well, the Pez was well protected. I am very impressed, it feels wonderful in my hand. The screen is incredible (but as this is my very first e-reader, I can't compare it to the others). The leather case seems nice and is well made. It gives the reader an elegant look. I may be a total newbie when it comes to e-readers, but I'm a very happy newbie.
