I am. Estimated arrival date Thursday June 11th. I went up tonight and set all my Amazon books for download (no mean task) and checked the state on my computer for the other 3,000 titles I have from freebie downloads. I'll keep you posted. I am a Kindle 1 Pioneer, one of the first to get mine in 2007 and I am as excited now as I was back then.

Mine is do on the June 11; however, I will not be home until June 12.  I am very excited!  Of course I am still not over the excitement of my K2 (which I wound up ordering because I couldn't wait for the DX).  I have had the K2 for about 2 weeks.

I ordered one. I already have a K2 as well, which makes it even worse.  Grin I'll probably pass the K2 on to my son, and use the DX myself.

I woke up to a very distressing email saying there was a problem with charging my credit card! I don't know why -- I am not over my credit limit, I pay the bill, and all the address info was correct. I told them to try again. Let's hope it goes through this time.

It's always something....

Poor Leslie! Next time, because there will be another Kindle eventually, give a friend the money and have them order the Kindle for you. Once you receive it you can register it to your account...lol! Maybe you can trick 'em or something?

Bummer Leslie. I'm glad I decided to go the cash route this time, which I generally couldn;t do, but because of the Virginia gig, I was able. I hoep they resolve the issue tout suite.

I have to laugh at myself, went to credit card statement, saw the charge and was shocked at the price--ran over to Amazon to make sure it was correct. Grin

After it didn't go through the second time, I call the credit card company. This is an Amazon business card and I have to say, the CS is excellent. I charged plane and train tickets to go to Switzerland the other day. That triggered a fraud alert when another big ticket charge came through. It's all been cleared now, since I was able to verify everything, and now my DX's status is shipping soon with a delivery date for tomorrow. Wahoo!
