The joy of Kindle advance book purchases

I got a surprise today - a new Jim Butcher book came out - and it was already loaded on my Kindle when I woke up.  If I had stayed up until 9p last night, I could have started reading it last night - at midnight ET.  But since I am still on ET from our Thanksgiving vacation, I started reading it at 4a instead.

I remember going to the bookstore on the day a book was released and not seeing it out for sale.  I'd have to argue with the staff that it really was available for purchase.  I don't miss that at all.
