I've just been on Amazon.com where I found an apology to people who've had to wait six weeks for theirs.

Obviously did too well with their publicity.

Sony now have a rival to the Kindle.

They did 3 readers on the Gadget Show, looked at by Nigel Havers. The Iliad came out quite well, but the Sony won hands down -although it's not available in this country yet and in the States you can only buy new books from them to be read by it -not a good sign.

The Sony one is going to be sold in Waterstones apparently. £199.

Hmmm... I like the Sony one but 6 inches just isn't big enough for me. !

6 inches isn't even as big as a page in a normal paperback... but the Kindle DX is HUGE. It looks a bit cumbersome.
