Probably 200 available for sale through that particular channel. Borders and the other outlets would have priority ...

Have I ranted latley on how lame Sony is for making us use this stupid shipping method the first day?

I hope my reader got out on the town at the sortation stops. Perhaps I'll find some cool pictures or it will have picked out a couple of good books

Let's see who ends up with the most stops on the way to delivery from Fedex "Smart"Post. I think I have one more sortation center to go before they pass it on to my post office.

I do not order Sony Reader but I am considering.
It is rumored that a sony store in Taipei Taiwan is selling the Sony Reader.
I wish it is true but I don't know.

My god, I have to say it's one of the most frustrating things I've ever seen. I bought mine online the second one could be bought. Now its apparently been stuck in "MARTINSBURG, WV" since September 30th!

I'm hoping the website just hasn't been updated, but at this point I'm not too hopeful. I actually work from home most of the time, so every time I see a USPS truck pass I get my hopes up (only to have them dashed when it doesn't stop). I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas to happen already.

Sony really should have used a faster shipping method, especially for the first units shipped out.
At this point it's starting to look like it would have been better for me to buy the unit at a store.

It amazes me that mine has made it half way across the globe in less time than it's taken yours to cross the country.

Perhaps Sony should outsource their distribution to me

Pff, it's only ~250 miles, you could've driven it in ~5 hours!

ultim8fury · 10-05-2006, 01:14 AM

True but by that token I could've collected mine in person in less than 13 hours.

NatCh · 10-05-2006, 10:29 AM

My point was more that it's taken them 5 days to go 250 miles.

da_jane · 10-05-2006, 01:24 PM

I assume there's some reason she's not just going to ship it to you? Ah, perhaps that's her garauntee that you'll come see her!
