* An adventure angler whose boat is over turned by a 200 lb Amazon-river catfish.

* A charter boat operator who gets speared thro...

I ordered on Aug before 11 pm. which puts me in the group:

Orders placed before 12 p.m. Pacific Time on August 12th are expected to ship on or before September 8th.
Orders placed before 11 p.m. Pacific Time on August 19th are expected to ship on or before September 10.

So we should be shipped out on or before Sept 10, but my order does not have a shipping date on it yet. Anyone with orders in this range have a shipping date assigned to their order yet?

Post when you do!

None for me. It briefly said shipping 7/26 to be delivered 7/27, I'm back to "Not Yet Shipped" with no estimated date.

I ordered on the 18th and no estimate for me too.
I had a shipping estimate of 27th - 31st after I clicked on Confirm at the shipping speed option but it disappeared and now I have the "we'll notify you with a delivery date" message.
I tried confirming my shipping speed again but this time it said that the system can't estimate a delivery date.

I did that also, I think that was a bug or something. They went back and "fixed" all those dates.

Dh ordered my K3 and the red cover on the 22nd of August.  Today the charge for the COVER was in the bank account and it is marked to be shipped today and that I cannot make any changes to the order.  It should be two more weeks before there is any action on the K3 as it was listed originally to be shipped by Sept. 17th.

I don't think they are going to give us an estimated shipping date - everything I have seen has said they will give us an estimated delivery date.  They won't do that until it actually ships.

We ordered our daughter's K3 on the 16th. No updates yet, but we weren't expecting any changes until at least next week.

I'm glad there's still movement. They seem to be sending to non-US customers earlier than US customers. I was hopeful to see Bojzi ship since you're order was the day after mine, but I see you are in Croatia. So I'm still trying to be patient here in the US!

I ordered after five on the 13th and only will notify me of shipping date. Some of my accessories have arrived.  Love my Apple Green case with the little light, but not much fun to play with yet!  Lydia

I ordered on the 19th as well, received the glitch reported by others, and now am "Not Yet Shipped" category.  In the meantime, I'm gonna continue plowing through my "hard copy" books!  Right now it's the complete "Rabbit" novels by John Updike.

As a way of alleviating the waiting time stress, I've downloaded the Kindle for PC application, and it is really pretty good.  I imagine I will be able to transfer my purchased tooks to the K3?

They will be in the archived items on your K3, but you will need to download them to the K3 before you can read them. You don't need to pay for them again.

Don't try to transfer the ones that you downloaded with the Kindle for PC app directly to the K3.

All the books have DRM protection that is device specific, so you need to download them directly to that device before they will work.

I got mine the day before release day, but I ordered one for a friend of mine on the 18th. I'm just as excited about hers to get her too! I expect it to get here around 9/09 - hopefully earlier, she has a K2, so I'm excited for her to get to play with her K3!

I just looked and yee haa I am due to receive on the 7th.  I ordered on the 13th. I am in NC for a little vacation right now, but it should be there when I get back.  I bet it gets there a bit early as it is only in KY and I live in Ohio.  Something fun to look forward to when I get home.  Lydia
