I got my Sony at a similar good (and pure luck) price. I agonized over which eBook reader to get for months. Almost got the Sony 500 but demurred. Then the 505 came out and, since I didn't get a gift certificate for X'mas (great shirts instead), I decided I was going to buy myself the 505.
So, I marched into the Sony Style Store ready to pay full price when the clerk told me they had three window displays on sale at 40% off. So I got mine for $170 plus tax and have been delighted with it ever since.
I just read 'The Surgeon' by Tess Gerritson, a freebie on Sony, and liked it. Good mystery
