Out For Delivery!

I'm confused why people at Kindleboards would have a hard time believing a UK delivery. I expect mine within 4 hours, not that I'm obsessively counting that down or anything. With the time difference of course UK will start getting them into their hands before the US. That's just the way the Globe works.
It's just a few US people who are (unfortunately) perpetuating the stereotype that US citizens don't know about anything outside the USA.


I was expecting that some people in the UK would get them before the USA, but only by a few hours, not a whole day.

I know, some of them have been surprising, which is very unlike kindleboards, they are usually such a happy community.

It will get better once people get their delivery, even the ones who implied things, and it will all be back on track and very helpful.

The person who was implying I'd made it up seems to be from the UK themselves, not sure if it's just sour grapes. I just know to stick to this forum where the people are much nicer.

EDIT: Just seen Pushka's post, I'll give kindleboards another try when things have calmed down a little then.

No it isnt, that is overstating it. Guess it depends what you want really.

And that person is one of the most helpful people on kindleboards. Honest!

And just saw your edited post! Great, give them a couple of days and it will be much better. Being in Australia I have to wait until next week so I am hardly as antsy as they are, but everyone expected delivery Friday - given it is only Thursday they are a little testy I think!

Hi Erinath,

Great video! I'm really interested to see your next vid with the PDF viewing, as this is one of the main features I want to use, and see how the kindle can handle it.

Any ideas of when you may get one uploaded?

Thanks

I know, that's like the horrible white earbuds with a black iPhone. At least the earbuds are basically throwaways and I use a better pair that happens to be black.

Just my first impression, I'm sure it grows on you once you spend some time there. I'm just way too used to Mobileread at the moment.
