I had been doing a bit of web-browsing over my coffee just prior to going to the Kindle Store. I'd been browsing this very forum, in fact.
For now, I'm leaving WiFi on and when I pause reading I go back to the Home screen so it can do whatever syncing it needs to do. Don't know if that's the right thing to do, but I'd rather do that than risk losing my annotations.

When you say "redelivered" does that just mean you were out when they first tried to deliver, or that it ended up at some other address? Glad it finally arrived. I hope you'll upload some pictures with your lighted cover working. Can't get enough of them! I've been loading all manner of old files (mostly PDFs and news/files via Calibre) onto my Kindle today - mainly to see what it can take and what it can't. I'm quite impressed with it so far. It's not so much an "ebook reader" as a "document reader". |

Yep, they tried to delivery yesterday literally 5 minutes after my Dad had left the house. I waiting until it is nice and dark before I try to get a shot of the cover's light working. But I have now added a couple of comparison shots with the Kindle 2 to the Flickr set. I also checked and the UK Kindle does definitely uses Vodafone rather than AT&T's Roaming Partner. The Kindle 2 uses Orange (according to the network code) which seems to be AT&T's roaming partner here. |

Looks like Amazon are really shipping these things out the door quickly at the moment and are about a week ahead of schedule.

Rumour had it here in the UK that Amazon were expecting a delivery of 25,000 Kindles yesterday. However, as there have been no new reports of any changes in shipping status either yesterday or today, it looks like that delivery (if at all true) has been delayed until tomorrow at the earliest. Either that or the Amazon staff have all decided to use today as a play day and built a giant fort out of all the Kindle boxes  |

What will I be doing in twenty years' time? I'll be dead, darling! Are you crazy? - When I'm dead, I want to be remembered as a musician of some worth and substance. - The reason we're successful, darling? My overall charisma, of course. - The others don't like my interviews. And frankly, I don't care much for theirs. - Money may not buy happiness, but it can d*mn well give it! - I always knew I was a star And now, the rest of the world seems to agree with me. - I dress to kill, but tastefully - I won't be a rock star. I will be a legend.
Quotes by the amazing Freddie Mercury ♥

Tomorrow is one of the main "ship by" dates in the UK is it not? The sh*t will really hit the fan if they don't ship some out tomorrow!
