I trust my source for that statement.

There's a banner across the order status page that says, 'Due to high demand, please expect shipping delays for Kobo Libra Colour (White)'

Fortunately, I ordered a black one.

So apparently the new reader is VERY popular.

That may be for orders placed now. I would think the earliest pre-orders would ship. I'm basing my guess on previous ereader pre-orders that seemed to change to "Out of Stock" around the 2-week mark (from announcement) and reappear a week or so later with "Pre-Order" displayed.

I am so jealous. My pre-order status is still "Processing".

Enjoy your new reader

Someone from reddit posted teardown pics of the Libra Colour

I wonder if the Libra Color battery would fit in the Libra 2.

It makes me sad that my preorder status for the Libra Colour is still set to "Processed" rather than "Shipped" since they're supposed to be available for sale from tomorrow. At this point, my chances of receiving my Libra tomorrow are dwindling down to "nil". I wonder if my order hasn't shipped yet because I ordered both a black Libra Colour AND a black sleep cover rather than just the device itself.

Has anyone else who preordered from Kobo Canada received their shipping notification yet?

Patience was never my strong suit.

I received a notification and expected delivery is tomorrow according to UPS. I ordered the same pair that you did so I doubt that that is the issue. It took a while after I received the order confirmation for the order has been shipped notification to arrive. What you do see when you access the Order Status page and enter your order number and email address?

I've gotten my Clara Colour today, but I'll have to wait till Wednesday/Thursday to make it work.

Anyone know if Clara 2E cases will fit the Clara Color/BW?

The Clara 2E and the Clara Colour/BW are not quite the same size (112.05 x 159.02 x 8.66 mm vs. 112 x 160 x 9.2 mm) so the case may not fit. I would be more worried about the cover's sleep magnet location since that is not specified.

It fits and the magnet works (at least the chinese cover I have with Van Gogh images).

Thanks for that. I thought it was odd that third party covers had not yet been released.

I submitted my order on the morning of 10 April and my order status has remained at "Processed" whenever I load the order status page.

For a while today, I just kept getting an error when I attempted to load my order status which made me hope that my order was in the process of changing status but a few hours later, the error cleared and my order remained at "Processed" (with a Tracking Status of "shipment pending")
