Anyone Own A Kindle?

From a quick search, it appears as though they sold out the initial production run on November 20, so any orders placed after that will be shipped later.

Thanks for the scare, though

Not to perpetuate the scare but Barnes & Noble is on shaky ground. The future of the company was one of many reasons I eliminated the Nook early on. A couple of other big show stoppers for me were only a 14 day return policy with a 10% restocking fee. Sony and Amazon is a 30 day full refund. B&N e-books are generally more expensive and B&N will not allow the use of their own gift cards to purchase their own e-books. WTF is up with that?!?!?!!?

I truly hope your girlfriend likes her Nook. It just didn't cut it for me.
