So, how long a wait for the Kindle?

[Crissy]

If I placed an order today, how long would I have to save my pennies?

I'm itchin' to push that 'order' button!

Stephen King has one (http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20172616,00.html).

Push the button! Push the button!

My teen said, "I'll pay half!"
I said, "No way! I'd have to let you use it half the time!"

I thinking seriously about getting one after I get my judge's check after the primary here in May. It would definitely cut down on newspaper clutter around here and maybe I'd actually use the treadmill more if I could read while walking.

You're making me jealous! :D

There is a discussion going on at the Amazon page for the kindle -

How long to wait for Kindle... (http://www.amazon.com/Where-live-when-order-arrive/forum/FxBVKST06PWP9B/Tx35DZWNZ36ASPO/1/ref=cm_cd_pg_oldest?%5Fencoding=UTF8&cdAnchor=B000FI73MA&cdSort=newest)

Folks who ordered in early Dec are getting the Kindles now. Those that ordered around Christmas are getting emails about shipping soon. Those that ordered in early Jan haven't heard a delivery date yet. Everyone is hoping that the wait time will speed up now that the Christmas orders are finished.

I placed another order for one on Jan 11th and I hope to have it by late Feb.

They don't charge your account until they get ir ready to ship, so you could get in line and then save the pennies.

I have been in several waiting rooms the last couple of weeks - doctors and hospitals - and my Kindle has been a lifesaver.

Also - the price of books is excellent compared to new ones. I have downloaded a bunch from Amazon, but I have also started using a bunch of the sources for free classic literature.

I say go for it! Then I can have a buddy who also has one :)
