Before I send to the service I want check if the problem does't depend on the level of battery charge or on a particular ebook.

You are referring to a Greenlight Bookstore (New York) from the link I posted earlier. I placed my order there too, and got similar message. You have an option to cancel the order by calling them, just like I did yesterday

On other hand, GreenApple Bookstore (California) did have some in stock and they already shipped mine (see message above this one for more details), but to be safe call them in first before placing order - I got an impression that they only have a few of them left when I called them earlier today.

I know, these links looks so similar due to the fact they both starting with "Green" and url structure is identical as well. But these are in fact 2 different companies ( I specifically asked Greenlight employee about it).

Good luck in hunting down you Aura HD

P.S: Kobo better restock these fast — the demand is heating up

thanks alexvi, I'll try apple!

Aura also charged me right away, despite it being a backorder.

update from Apple:
"Order status: Processing

Order comment:
Hi Waba, we will have the aura back in stock in about a week. I will let you know when it ships. Thanks, Nick

Browse to the following page to login to your account and view your order details:

Thanks again,
Green Apple Books
REAL {books, people, local}"

They also charged my card right away... Grr.

Looks like everyone is out of stock now

In regards to credit card charges, the one from GreenLight is already off my statement (actually, it was not a charge but rather an authorization).

As for GreenApple, did you call them to check the stock prior placing an order like I was suggesting? They were really low on stock when I called them 2 days ago.

While everyone's waiting, perhaps we can all meet to discuss font choices at Sam's Serif.

No, phones are just so much work in the internet age! But my laziness is starting to tie up the better part of a grand on my CC, so I will start calling if Harvard falls through.

Placed another order with Harvard, so I have 3 open orders. Who will win?
