I ordered mine but ordered on the 12th so think I will have another couple of weeks to go before it is despatched.

For anyone (like me) with the 'old' international kindle, you can now make it 'uk based' so you log into the UK book store, rather than the US one,
Another advantage is that once you make it UK based you can use the 'experimental' web browser to access more sites than just Amazon & Wikipedia - so you can use your kindle to access Gmail, BBC News, etc, wirelessly - I just sent myself an email via Gmail.
OK it is slow & the interface is klunky, but for anyone with the older version who found decent web access only actually worked in the USA, it is worth a try
