I do see the release date on Amazon's website - but have not received an email. Has anyone received and email from Amazon regarding their pre-order?

Nope. It says the same message as before. When an estimated delivery date has been confirmed, you will receive an e-mail. June 10th is still 9 days away too. I doubt they will be sending out e-mails too early.
I'm guessing they are working out the '1st come, 1st served' statuses. Maybe they are anticipating a sell out? |

Just wanted to bump this and see if anyone has heard anything about their delivery date yet. Nothing here yet, but I saw someone say on the amazon board that they ordered today and have a June 12th delivery date.  |

I preordered today and got an email with a June 12th delivery date too.
ETA I have prime membership and chose the free 2 day shipping. So I'm guessing that the delivery date estimate is based on that and the release date.

aha! I read that some people changed their shipping methods and immediately got a delivery estimate, so I did the same. Changed it to overnight and suddenly got a June 11th delivery estimate!

June 11 delivery date too, but I have a one day shipping! Does anyone have a two day? I wonder if it changes. I'm afraid to change it!
I have one day shipping too. |

I looked at the other Kindle DX post and Rasputina mentioned that she got two day and she has the 12th for a delivery date.
When did you order it, Anne.
I ordered mine on May 25 with one day shipping. |

Me too! Haha. What good luck! I'm still curious as to whether or not anyone has gotten a 10th delivery date. It seems unlikely that it would arrive on the release date, but maybe one of the first people who ordered might of been lucky.
Last time with Kindle 2 they released it early. Those of us who had one day shipping got it on the release date. |

They do the same thing with games and books, you usually receive it on release day if you preordered.

I ordered on a month before, but scheduled to receive mine 4 days later (June 16). |

I don't KNOW because I've not ordered (yet), but what I expect is happening is the shipping/delivery dates (there is some confusion over which it actually is) are dependent on what type of shipping you requested.
1 day shipping -- delivery on the 11th (and it might show up on the 10th!)
2 day shipping -- delivery on the 12th
Standard shipping -- delivery on the 15th or 16th
Free super saver shipping -- delivery sometime after that.
And, as I said, sometimes they tell you the shipping date and sometimes the delivery date -- so read the e-mail carefully. If it's not coming soon enough, go on line and change your order. And if you already asked/paid for one day but it says anything after the 12th. . . .well, call them and ask why! Because I think even someone who orders on the 9th and requests 1 or 2 day shipping will have it before the weekend -- shipping company issues notwithstanding, of course.
