That's wonderful, Leslie. If anyone deserves the Kindle DX it's Mrs. Bristlecone Kindle herself.  Ed P |

Well, you know, that's a good thing, really. . . . . .
It is. And because I could verify everything, they took off the hold and the charge went right through. So it all worked out in the end. I have to laugh...I am having a super-stressful day (you name it, it's happening) and this was just one more thing. L |

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!

I am so happy you were able to straighten it out. |

Waiting for my first Kindle! I ordered mine with the super saver shipping so it isn't due to ship until Monday. I almost changed to overnight last week but remembered that my summer Concert Band's first concert is this Saturday and I need to write the announcements and knew I'd be playing with the Kindle too much to do a decent job  On the other hand they did ship me 2 PG Wodehouse books and my copy of Book: The Sequel which I am a contributor to. Does anyone know when Oberon is releasing their new covers? Frank |

For the DX? Based on email exchange with Becca at Oberon, I would guess it will be July. |

I'll definitely be ordering a Oberon DX cover, but am worried about leaving my kindle unprotected for a month or so...contemplating ordering a Medge platform to protect it until then unless someone has a good suggestion as to how to keep it safe while waiting for Oberon.

Same concern. I ordered the Amazon cover just to have some protection until either Oberon or Noreve comes out with something I really like. Oberon isn't doing a velcro model for the DX. I never take the Oberon out of the cover, and can't imagine having it in something to protect it. |

When I get my DX I don't anticipate getting any cover, but will look for a protective case. . . .which might be available at someplace like Target pretty cheaply. . . .

My status has changed to being prepped for shipment! My delivery date is Monday, but since I upgraded to overnight shipping, and it's now being prepped for shipment, do you think this means I'll get it before Monday?

Lucky dog. Mine is "shipping soon" - who knows when that'll be. Oh, well. It has to be sometime tomorrow because it's next day shipping, but I want it now. *stamps foot* Going to work should keep my mind off things for a bit. |

I was too cheap for next day shipping so I'll get it on Friday. |

Amazons Dx page says you can buy it today, with 1 day shipping get it tomorow. So yes. I think you'll get it tomorrow. I don't have a DX ordered but I went through that with my k2. I actually had the thing in my hand when I got the it's shipped email. Good luck, but I'm betting you have it tomorrow, from my past experience. |

I just received my shipping notice e-mail. Tracking info: Date Time Location Event Details June 10, 2009 12:22:20 PM Campbellsville KY US Shipment has left seller facility and is in transit I am glad I watched the DX unboxing video. Each time I opened my Kindle 2 packaging, (original and two replacements), I did so without tearing the "open here" strips. (I am glad I did as it made the returns easier.) In the video, it shows that the inside slip cover was glued onto back of the inner tray. Another challenge in the opening process.  Edit: Since it is for DH and he hates paying for shipping but wants it to arrive while I am in town, we paid for Standard Shipping. The estimated delivery arrival is June 15. |
