I'm posting this well aware it has no value for anyone bar me, but i'm pretty excited.

Same, my B&N's copy should arrive today (Monday). Ridiculous, as like Bakker, I'm living in Ontario. Last time, Penguin Canada published the book and it came out earlier than in the US/UK if I recall correctly.
A self-serving cognitive bias brought me here.

Yeah it did, I ordered it from Canada last time as that was the earliest way to get the book.

Just finished it, holy whit that was dense, you were right Madness, the whole book was a spoiler, and that was the first half. Poor Proyas, I do not know how you managed to keep these secrets for so long.

Girls & guys, could you advise a sure method to buy an electronic copy?

Amazon just shipped my retail copy, claims it will be here tomorrow.  We'll see if that ends up being true.

I have pre-orders standing on both .com and .ca but have yet to hear from either. Getting a tad annoyed now.

My local b&n relessed it on the 5th....even thiugh Amazon still has a july 12th release date. Paid nesrly double to already finish it before the Amazon release.

Lol - some of the ARC buyers paid upward of $150 for their early fractions ;).

I finished mine.  Got it on the 5th.

Nice! Welcome to the Second Apocalypse, Darknesse :).

As far as I know, from here on out Penguin Canada will only distribute Overlook's edition of the book - hence the uneven lag time between Canadian and US releases :(.

Lol - thanks, neither do I, Ciogli :).

Probably can't get them before midnight tonight, though, SP. I've previously bought Kindle books and used third-party ereading programs on my computer.

Hope one of those works.

I have mine now. Just arrived. :D

HUZZAH! The Captain has his copy!

Usually, they don't send shipping notices unless the thing has shipped. Fingers crossed, H.

Well, it is kind of lame that the author's country of origin doesn't see the book first ;).

Oh, no doubt it is shipped, but I was surprised by 1-day shipping.  It doesn't really matter, it'll come around the mountain when it comes.

So once you buy the Kindle edition it sends you a download link so you can put in on your computer?

Just a little bit more complicated.

There is a banner "READ ON ANY DEVICE >Get free Kindle app" under the book cover, which produces a window: "Enter your mobile number or email address below and we'll send you a link to download the free Kindle App. Then you can start reading Kindle books on your smartphone, tablet, or computer - no Kindle device required."

Using that, I've just got Kindle app for PC and now I'm trying to install one on my phone.
Btw, the app will ask you to login with new or existing amazon account.

And as Madness suggested, "This title is not currently available for purchase" with "Publication Date: July 12, 2016".
We're lucky it's 11.07.2016 & 22:56.

PS Time in Washington, DC, USA 5:12 PM Monday, July 11, 2016. I've completely forgot about timezones!
PPS Amazon.com is UTC-7, as far as I remember. That makes it even more painful: 2:19 PM Monday, July 11, 2016.
