Make it hurry up!
Argh, my Kindle is in the country and now I just have to wait for it to be delivered to me. I can't stand waiting much longer!!!

To make matters worse, my friend got hers yesterday and has just been in to show it off to me. I have been lurking on the forum for a few weeks doing lots of research while I waited for it.

Sorry, just needed to vent to people who would understand LOL.

It took over a month for me to get mine, and I'm only a few states away... I totally feel your pain.

I'm also waiting for my replacement Kindle to come. I only managed to use the K3 for a week before it became faulty, but I'm missing it already.

Tracking it via DHL is both exciting and frustrating

Welcome to MR ! I had to wait a month and a half to get my K3, they were out of stock when I ordered. I hope they'll deliver soon, you'll absolutely love it !

Start adding books to a wish list - you can spend hundreds if not thousands of £/$! Very exciting but also very worrying.

I'd also suggest looking in the "Book Uploads" forum here; we have many books available for download, all of them free. It's the Mobipocket format ones that you want for the Kindle.

Congrats on the impending arrival of your new Kindle!

While I was waiting on mine, I used Kindle for PC and started collecting all the freebies. I helps to keep busy.
