I completely agree with this. I had the exact same thought when stormfather said he is not going to be a shardblade for Dalinar. Yes, it would be interesting but I am not sure how the blade would be tracked. I am assuming that there would be a way for the stone shamans to track the blade and not the person who picked it up first. So that means they might go to Urithru since that looks like the place for everyone to crash during the desolation. But since at the very end of WoR, Darkness and Szeth set out to Shinovar to take care of their leaders, I am not sure if the stone shamans will get a chance to go after the blade.

I pre-ordered last July and I got an email saying it was shipped today via USPS . The estimate still shows as delivery by March 4th, 8:00 pm. So maybe I should not complain as much but I was seriously hoping it would reach me this evening . I also got to know a few weeks ago that Brandon is doing a signing at my place - so maybe I will get a book at the local store and return the Amazon purchase.

Ah, you guys are so creative!! I have only recently joined this forum since I only recently discovered and since then I got to know that a lot of creative folks are here. I am so glad I joined to read them if not participate .

Sweet!! Thanks for doing that!

Another one!!

That was amazing! Thanks for sharing ... I could really use some outlet to avoid think about how long I have to wait, why my amazon preorder is not showing any update on the order etc etc.

For Steelheart, I had to wait for it to show up until 2:00 pm or so for it show up and I pre-ordered the kindle version. I live in PST as well and so I hope it does not get delayed. Good idea on the nap though . You know, I read on this forum or on tor.com Way of Kings re-read, that Amazon sends stuff out early, sometimes as early as a day. So I was hoping for such magic and I am still hoping - fingers crossed. If not, since Brandon is coming for the book signing to my city the same day, I will hopefully pick one up in a local store.

I am so jealous of you all. I have pre-ordered mine on amazon.com in July 2013 - not status yet . At this point I am worried I will get late evening March 4th .

Wow! That was a great review and I am super excited to read the book!!! Another week - how I wish I could turn the clock. I have taken the day off so I can read the book . I rarely read a book from cover-to-cover more than once and I have already read Way of Kings three times. I cant believe it and even more surprising for me is that I am on my fourth re-read (just to shore me up until March 4th) and I find myself still trying to get through the scene/chapter/book as quickly as possible even though I know what would happen. This is by far my most favourite book and I cant wait for the next!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I am looking forward to it even more then I thought possible.

Hey Chaos, I was wondering if you had any luck with this . Sorry for bugging ya but after reading wetlander's article (http://www.tor.com/blogs/2014/02/reflections-of-radiance-spoiler-free-reactions-to-brandon-sandersons-words-of-radiance), more specifically the point copy-pasted below, I have a feeling that more people might want to check these out . "Okay, I sure hope someone can decode this, because I’ve tried, and tried, and tried, and I’m clueless. (How’s that for a way to start the list? Cryptographers, prepare! Or possibly, beware.)" While I have not spent time on websites or databases, I have some experience with them. So if you think an extra hand could help, do let me know. Edit: hightlight the copy-pasted information.

Ohh, now I cant wait ... I came here from the glimpses thread and found this gem (OP)!

I am sad to hear that - it would have been awesome if it was offered!!

Thanks Peter . I love the idea of bundling the ebook along with a hardcopy. I hope it happens . As for information given by the CS rep, I completely agree. I thought I would not know for sure until March 4th.

Hey Peter, here is part of the chat transcript with Amazon CS. Probably not the best thing to post here but ... 07:49 PM(GMT) Annamalai(CSA): Just to confirm, Is this the book ? http://www.amazon.com/Words-Radiance-Stormlight-Archive-Book/dp/0765326361/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0 07:49 PM(GMT) Krishna Konda: yup 07:51 PM(GMT) Annamalai(CSA): I see, In the case the book will be available once the Kindle edition is released Krishna. 07:51 PM(GMT) Krishna Konda: umm, ok when is the Kindle version coming out? 07:51 PM(GMT) Annamalai(CSA): Publication Date: March 4, 2014 07:52 PM(GMT) Krishna Konda: so same day for both 07:52 PM(GMT) Annamalai(CSA): Yes, that is correct. 07:52 PM(GMT) Krishna Konda: so you confirm its available for matchbook? 07:52 PM(GMT) Annamalai(CSA): Yes, Krishna

Thanks Peter but this is surprising since I chatted with Amazon CS a couple weeks ago to see if they will kindlematch my pre-order and was told yes. But it does not matter now to me sine I will be buying WoR locally since Brandon is coming to San Diego for the signing.
