Due to overwhelming demand, new Sony® Portable Reader orders will ship mid November.

In a way, it's a good thing. It clearly shows that it is more popular than they expected.

And it's also the "fault" of this community - I am sure we lured a lot of interested folks into buying one

That's tremendous news for the product, the Sony Reader team, and for e-books in general!

Not so good for all the people that still want one and have to wait!

Well, it is not hard to run out of 130 or so readers (as Greg mentioned)

diabloNL · 09-28-2006, 10:01 AM

I ordered yesterday when this message wasn't on their website. My estimated shipping time is still 10/25/2006. I hope it will not change to November....

But if you check Order Status at SonyStyle.com, what do you see?

Frogsmasha · 09-28-2006, 12:45 PM

I should have printed it out, but I didn't, and my history wont allow me to save that portion. Usually a reciept is E-mailed, but not this time.

I dont know what to do. I want to get it already :>

You can still call them and ask to locate/confirm your order?

Excuse my language.

Son of a Bitch! I called them, and I'm happy now.

Thank you very much.

I'm not kicking myself for not immediately ordering when I first got the email on Tuesday. I placed my order today and its estimated ship date is all the way out to 12/04/06. /cry

I remember when the first HD Tivo DVR was released by DirecTV. I got myself on a perorder list in January and they where released in March. The first shipping day only 200 or so went out. The list was in the 1000s at that point. I got in on the 2nd shipment and was thrilled. Anyway, what happend then and I'm sure now is that they roll them out as they are manufactured. I suspect that they drastically underestimated demand if they are already out to December. Hopefully they can beef up the production.
