I just get on the home page do a search for the book title, or part of the title, or author.  Then it shows up on search page, saves me a lot of time, plus it sjpws anything that is being indexed so I can tell if it is repeating indexing the same book.

I recieved my Kindle January 3, 2008, I threw the origional cover in the trash January 5, 2008 

I thought when you go under the settings menu, then click menu again and you get other options, one of which is "restart" was like the paper clip, or alt-shift-r.  It certainly takes as long to restart 

No - for the Oberon Kindle cover, there isn't a choice.  For whichever design you choose, you get the color shown.  I just know I want one of the Saddle ones because those are my favorite designs.

Good that is what I wanted. As I said previously, I got my journal in a museam gift shop.

I got the pebbled mocha with saddle trim.  I didn't get offered a choice of color when I ordered my Oberon Kindle 2.  I just picked design, was there a color choice spot that I missed  , guess I should find out, or heaven knows what color they would send.

I'm reading The Picture of Dorian Gray, on my Sony(please don't throw rocks). It happened to be formatted than kindles and both were free.

I ordered on Jan. 1 and I have a ship date of Mar. 2.  And I am not happy about being pushed to the end of the line behind people who ordered 5 weeks after I did 

I spoke to Kindle CS yesterday and the rep confirmed that my scheduled ship date is Mar. 2.  She said I would be in the 'second shipment' because there were a lot of orders in December.  I'm sure there were a lot of December orders and I would expect to wait while theirs are shipped first.  But it appears that I will also continue to wait while they ship Kindles to people who ordered after I did. 

I suspect they will ship my Kindle before Mar. 2 because they usually do....but if they do not I will be an unhappy camper....

I ordered my Kindle 1 Nov. of 2007.  I remember how hard it was to wait. It was January 08 before I actually had it in my hands.  I hate to say it, but back then, they had an estimated ship date of Jan. 11, 2008 and that is the day it shipped.  And not until after 9 pm, which meant my one day shipping didn't count because it was a weekend, so it was the following Tuesday before it was delivered.  The 11th was a Friday, after 9 pm meant Friday didn't count as a business day, Saturday and Sunday don't count in 1 day shippping. So Monday was their one day and I got it on Tuesday. I don't know if that was a fluke, but it felt like Amazon was using every loop hole they could find at the time to make it as long as possible.  Of course I'm sure they weren't.  But it felt like it at the time.  Maybe they had so many people in the first batch of Kindle 1 orders that had experienced that when they first launched Kindle they have taken pity on us now, hence the bump.  I am sorry that new to Kindle people are being pushed back though.  As it just makes others experience frustration.  I'll bet Amazon is MUCH better prepared this time.  I know I ordered my Kindle 2 before the "announcement" and I didn't do anything, they just changed the estimated ship date from 2nd week in March to Feb. 25 automatically. Which to me, proved they are much more on top of things now. 

I have the Sony 700, I use it in this 505 case with the light wedge and it works really well.  The 700 built in light is from the sides and I think that has something to do with the glare.  Overall it works well.  I do understand why Kindle doesn't have a built in light, but one like this wouldn't be a bad option to buy.

I read this years ago - would be great to read again!  Clickety Clickety!!

Wow! This thread must really work! I just clicked on your link  for Kane and Able and almost bought the kindle book on accident.  It's available on Kindle now, I got the sample.  This thread is a great list to just get my "books to read" list a little longer.

Colleen Mccullough's Rome series is available on Kindle. The Antony and Cleopatra, a strong Caesar plot.
