I doubt it will be the latter though.

At 20 eur the shipping, I certainly hope they did not choose a low-budget solution just to make more margin on the shipping price.

Thank you for your ongoing interest in our iLiad E-reader.

Some time ago you have sent us an email / showed interest in obtaining an iLiad sample. We are happy to inform you that, for European Business to Business customers, the iRexShop is open. We have started selling evaluation products per June 12, 2006.

You are invited to login to:"

It made me a little confused.

BTW, the price is $739 including shipping cost, same with you.

Yes, that was the email I got verbatim. That's why I was wondering if they thought I was a European customer. Fortunately the order processed without a hitch except that there was no option to enter the state I live in, though it did take the zip code. I will post when it ships, unless I don't have internet access where I am staying on vacation next week.

I asked iRex about the US invites...let's see what they say...

I also asked about the different status and the amount they think they can ship straight away...

Well, it was $699 before shipping. I think the order page made mention of a tax as well, so $40 on top of the list price isn't getting away very cheap.

USD problems were resolved quickly, so US invites are on. That solves the riddle why some already got them.
Shipping confirmation for the first european orders should arrive tomorrow...^^
