My Paperwhite 3G was shipped today. It should arrive at BundleBox tomorrow, and hopefully be delivered this Thursday (4th October).

Mine is on its way to Bundlebox too. Should be there today with any luck and out to me this week. I have a Kindle Fire HD already sitting in there, so it's going to be very nice when they both turn up. Don't know which to try first Big Grin

I ordered on launch day, but mines showing 12 October. I'm sure the wait will be good for me in some way or other - I just need to work out how!!!

PS have you moved the device registration to the uk store yet? I get asked every time I log on to Amazon but wasn't sure when to do it!

It doesn't really matter when you move the device registration, so any time should be fine.

Thanks Lou - much appreciated. This will be my first move away from paper, so still getting to grips with device management, Calibre etc.

Mine was shipped yesterday. i got the conformation emails. Plus, thankfully I got a new phone yesterday. So I can check my emails tonight to see if I get one from Bundlebox. Hopefully next week I'll have my new Kindle. my third one, and there was me thinkking I'd keep the Keyboard one for years.

Just had my Paperwhite arrive in my Bundlebox and arranged the shipping back to the UK. Should be here by Friday latest.

I'd let you know the shipping cost, but I had several other things as well as the Kindle, so I can't break it down.

I've also just booked delivery of my Paperwhite 3G (without Special Offers) with BundleBox. The total (including insurance) came to £67.78. The cost from Amazon (including One Day Delivery) was $232.12 (approximately £143, according to BundleBox), making a total of £210 approximately overall.

That would seem to add up about right then with my original assessment of it costing £ = $ (insurance notwithstanding)

It will be interesting to hear your take on the 3G version as I only managed a Wi-Fi - I had second thoughts, but it was too late to change to a 3G unless I wanted to wait another 3 weeks.
