Hello fellow members!
Well, my nook arrived a little after 1:00 this afternoon. I wanted to get a picture of the UPS guy delivering the box but man he was quick! :D Anyway, my wife took pictures of the unboxing and so thus here they are with captions below!

Even Gandalf is curious to see if all is well.

I think I figured it out!!

Well, not quite yet!

Ah ha! Liberated at last!

The components displayed with Gandalf looking disgusted!

I'm actually reading a few of things. Conan Doyles Hound of the Baskervilles, Modern Religious Cults and Movements by Gaius Atkins and Star Trek Voyager - The Nanotech Wars. I always have at least three books going at any given time and sometimes four or five. Another convenience of the nook is that all my current reading can accompany me anywhere now!

That is really cool Kevin. Congrats!
Looks great! Now off to the moors to protect Sir Henry! :)
Looks like a great device, thanks for the pictures. It arrived at a very appropriate time as well :)
I'm impressed it was delivered on 25th! You wouldn't get that over here.
Good pictures and entertaining captions, thanks for putting them up. (Although the thread title had certain risqué implications when I first glanced at it)
It looks very well packed and presented. I hope the user experience matches up to that good start. It's a little smaller than I imagined but portability is key in devices like this so I guess it's a good thing.
Enjoy your reading and remind Mrs Ktrek what a kind and generous woman she is for not only tolerating but actually feeding your geeky pleasures!
He got it on the 24th. See the date on the first post.
His first post is dated 25th in this time zone :)
Mind you, it also says 3:12am so I should have realised a bit of conversion was required.

Yes. He is five hours earlier than you I think. Plus Kevin states it arrived at 1pm that afternoon. There is never mail delivery here on Christmas. At least via most services.
