iBook Availability?

A few postings on the lists I subscribe to from people who ordered at The Apple Store claim either that they received their iBooks today or to have FedEx tracking numbers that indicate arrival tomorrow. A reliable source believes that these iBooks were FedEx'ed directly from Taiwan. The same source also says that retail stores and catalog stores should also be getting their allotments any day now but Apple is mum on the exact shipping dates. [Dana Baggett]
