The Amazon DX page now lists it as In stock on June 11th. . . . . .

hmmm. . .there are also 2 reviews.

Oh, never mind.  One says they cancelled their order because there's no external storage and the other says get over it.  Cheesy



edit:  it's now listed as "in Stock" and has a "order it within x hours xx minutes for delivery tomorrow"
(btw, I stickied this thread until tomorrow so folks won't have to go hunting for it when their DX's start arriving)

oh, and there's one more review from someone in a British English country that wants it to have colour.

Just heard a large truck pull up, and I got a knock on the door. I ran to the door to find out it was Fed Ex dropping off something else... doh!

Holy cow, even my heart rate quickened as I read this, and I'm not even getting a DX.  Although I am getting a used K2.  But it probably won't ship for a day or so.

I got a bs notice that there is a delay due to natural disaster or weather.  Well, that location was noted as Sylmar, CA which is not that far from me.  Our weather is fine and no earthquakes today so I'm a little p.o.-ed   Angry

I just checked my tracking and I got a delayed by weather notice too. Odd thing is that it arrived in my city this morning, but just isn't on the truck for delivery. Hmmm.... I might have to make a little trip down to UPS if it doesn't hop on a truck sometime soon.

Update 7:53AM --I called UPS and told them our weather was fine.  They then informed me that there was no address on the box, just my name and city/zip.  Heavy sigh....I came into work for this!? 

So since they have a zip, its on the way to the main Los Angles facility, but no delivery today.

Thank you! I turned the WhisperSync back on an synced between the two books I am currently reading. It worked great! If I go with the plan to keep the DX here at the office, I can see that I'll be using WhisperSync more often.

It looks and feels just like a Kindle except it's big. It's sort of weird being so big...LOL
