Update - said to expect it to be shipped on the 17th - got an email last week that it was planned to ship on the 13th - got another today - SHIPPED! Promise less, deliver more - great strategy! Now I'm constantly logging on to see where it is in the shipping route! I need a life!

I ordered 1 Sept, nothing yet here as well... but at the rate folks are posting it is only a matter of days before you and I hear something I think.

All things considered I think Amazon is doing amazingly well cranking out the orders.

I ordered the 6" on 8/26. Yesterday, 9/10 they shipped it with an expected delivery of Monday 9/13. I selected regular ground shipping, paid nothing for premium delivery.

Now, the DX is a rather different story. I ordered it late afternoon 9/7 and paid for second-day delivery. It was shipped immediately and delivered the next afternoon -- less than 24-hour turnaround.

The DX is for reading at home, the other for travel.

Ordered the wifi only model on Aug 31st, got a shipping estimate of Sept 20 . I was expecting a shipping date early next week. Oh well, can't do much.

Just ordered yesterday so I have a long wait yet....But hoping it wont be too long. From what I see it looks like it would take 2 weeks or so.

I ordered on Sept. 1st and just got an email that said I should expect it on the 22nd with two day shipping. It'd be nice if it actually shipped "on or before September 17th", but what can you do.

I ordered on 9/1 as well (K3, WiFi-only) and the estimated delivery date I got 9 days later was 9/15. Much to my surprise, they actually shipped it early and now it's supposed to be here by Tuesday.

So far, I'm impressed with Amazon's service. I actually considered pre-ordering a K3 when they were first announced in early August but then I decided to hold out for some reviews (wasn't sure about the PDF viewer and whether to go with WiFi-only or the 3G model) and, thus, was expecting to wait a lot longer than two weeks.

It looks like yours will ship on 9/17 that is why the 9/22 delivery.

True.
I also think the WIFI only units seem to be shipping faster than the 3G's...
Is this true?

I ordered mine (no 3G) on Sep 1st. I got an email today saying that they're expecting to ship my unit on Sep 22nd!!! Not cool!
In the same order I had two books that I canceled on Sep 5th, I wonder if that's why I'm getting such lame shipping dates!!!
What's confusing is that my amazon account shows a shipping date of the 20th, while the email I got this morning says the 22nd.
I, too, need a life!!!

Yeah, I just got my email too. At time of purchase, Amazon front page was saying "on or before Sept. 17th". But now the shipping estimate I received a minute ago reads Sept. 20th, which means I don't get to bring it on my upcoming trip.

Well hope springs eternal, as I have seen in the forums, amazon consistently seems to promise a day, but ends up shipping it a day or 2 before. You may just get it a few days earlier.
