Basically every time in my case, but everything I've ever ordered off there is a luxury and not a necessity, so I don't really care.

I have had mixed luck.  Some things arrive almost overnight some take weeks.

I do hope this shows up sometime this week, since I'm going out of town next week and it would be nice to be able to take it with me.

Nothing - usually when they've shipped it the status changes, so I think it's still in the warehouse
I'm dumb and was doing it wrong - it shows on fedex as shipped with a predicted delivery of thursday :)

It came today - big ups to fedex for leaving in the middle of my porch so it could get drenched.

I fucking love this thing so far.

Bought a mixed book of poems, loaded up some stuff from Gutenberg via Calibre (NECESSARY: http://calibre-ebook.com/), bought the paper (which I get free in the office, but whatever), and today I loaded up a few docs I had to read for work as PDFs (update your kindle, folks -- it comes with 2.3 software, and 2.5 lets you read PDFs) and finished them up on my lunch break. Really much nicer than dealing with a stack of papers or a phone.

Oh, and E-Ink is pretty amazing. It's so crisp.

This rules so hard considering the website I just got with free books has everything in epub.
