Do you think that Amazon shipped all the pre-orders today before the new orders that were placed today? I'm just wondering about my place in the que... My cover shipped today, but no shipping notice for the DX, both were next day air... This morning when I saw that I could order the DX and have it by tomorrow, I was SO tempted to place a second order just so I would get one tomorrow. I didn't though.  They were also supposed to be shipped together, the cover and DX.  Any thoughts about how Amazon's que works?

Can't wait to see some of the reviews from KBers of this.  I hope that I won't be enabled.  Maybe I'll just be envious.

 Cheesy   Just received an email from Amazon that my Kindle DX has shipped and should arrive on June 18th.   I am so very excited! 

I have read all the manuals twice and have tons of books on my wishlist.  It is actually for my husband as his arthritis keeps him from holding books too long.  Plus, with the larger screen, we will be able to see the text better.  I am sure we will both enjoy and love our Kindle DX as much as all of you love your Kindles.

I'm sure this board is going to start lighting up today.  I remember how active this board was when the K2 shipped.  Hope those of you getting the DX enjoy it.

I thought I was going to be left out; but just got my shipping and welcoming notices.  Was busy downloading stuff to Big Fred with my next breath.  Whew! 
I'm on the West Coast so I guess I got left with the last bunch.  I WAS going to stay home tomorrow, but will go into work as they deliver in the afternoon.  At home they don't deliver till 6 or 7pm, so I always have the 'good' stuff sent to the office.  I think I'm going to have to go to Target to find something to put my DX in until I figure out how I'm going to protect him.

iPhone is Wilma, Kindle 2 is Fred (but she's a girl).  I'm picturing Big Fred as a guy, though.

O.K.  Sorry but if the DX is Fred (big or not) then the K2 should be Wilma and the iPhone Pebbles.  Grin

I'm gonna make history. I'm going to my big gig reading in McLean VA on Monday, and will most likely be the first American Author to do a book reading from a Kindle DX.

Well, my shipment has been delayed "by weather or natural disaster" in Harrisburg, PA. Go figure - but it's early still, and they haven;t changed the delivery date, and Harrisburg is only 80 miles West of me. So . . .

I just posted the following on the Amazon Kindle DX discussion threads under the title "I'm Making DX History on Monday"  Grin

"My Kindle DX arrives today and I'm excited. I also have a book reading on Monday in McLean VA of one of my 12 titles (won't mention them here, as that's not the purpose of this post). However, I shall do that reading (a big corporate invite on telecom call to 30 points around the US) on my new KindleDX, and I beleive I shall be the first American Author to do a Reading from the DX. If you're reading this Uncle Stevie King, don't try to beat me. lol

They had bad weather in Manchester, NH at 6:46 am. Not sure what that means. My package has an arrival scan of 8:50 am in South Portland but they haven't recorded the "out for delivery" scan yet.

Hopefully your UPS guy won't just mark it delivered like he did with the K2.  I'm sure he doesn't want to face that wrath again. Wink

Mine scanned as out for delivery at 8:55 am.

He usually arrives around 10:53 am. We'll see if he is on time this morning. Is it possible that I might be the first one to receive a DX???

(now I have probably jinxed myself!)

Hopefully, you'll have yours in less than 5 minutes and have some pictures up soon.  This so reminds me of February and I'm not even getting one.

Kevin, I was thinking the same thing; February and K2 deliveries.  It was so much fun hearing everyone else's excitement.  I keep forcing myself to step away from my computer and get something accomplished today.
