That's what I was thinking. They don't specify an exact moment just the day. Besides which 9 am say where you are and where I am might be hrs apart depending on our geographical locations.

Well it was definitely not available for pre-order in the UK early on September 1st, but the status changed by the afternoon when it was available for pre-order. Nothing at all wrong with that?
Not sure they would have gotten many pre-orders at the £180 price point though..... ![]() |

Nope, but they ship UK devices from the UK going by past experience. It's free shipping after all, no way they wouldn't charge for that...

I will be buying from WH Smiths too - heard too many horror stories on this forum from people ordering direct from Kobo. Also it's nice to see and play with the device before purchasing.

Ordering from a local retailer will invariably make it easier to return when all the pin dot holes start to appear.
