No then. There is still no exploit for an un-jailbroken 5.6.1 -- although there are individuals looking into it.

Thanks for answering my question. $69.95 isn't too much, but I will hold out a bit longer and see if they lower the price again. I much prefer the price that you found. I still want the T3, but I can be quite the bargain hunter!

I still love my PRS-350, even though I have units with better screens now.

Factory direct also offers a 1 year warranty for $4 which is good for refurbished. I am quite the bargain hunter myself Helen |

Factory Direct doesn't repair the thing, Sony's not going to either, and all you're going to get is store credit. How is that beneficial? Extended warranties offer a false sense of security and all they do is line the merchant's pockets. |

I absolutely love my PRS-300! I don't like the newer ones which have Wi-Fi and all that other nonsense that drains the battery quick. I just want to read, plain & simple!

I was just mentioning that factory direct warrantees are cheap as these things go for those that purchase warrantees. I use my Visa that automatically gives me a two year warranty because it does not cost me anything additional. But so far I have had no need to use it, reinforcing your point. I am not touting factory direct, as I am aware of the no refund policy, but if I feel the price is extremely good I will buy from them. Helen Edit:BTW they will replace them if they have stock and a credit is better than nothing. Last edited by speakingtohe; 11-27-2014 at 09:01 PM. |

I just picked up my 2 T3s from the Post Office.
They are in pristine condition and both fully charged. They did come in a whacking great box with a yard or two of bubble wrap, but I have seen worse in the way of over packing. I am putting my mystery books on one and fantasy on the other. If that works out for me I will label them Sorry for going on, but I am excited. I really do love my Sonys Helen |

speakingtohe.... It does sound like you got a really good deal on those refurbished T3s. I have had pretty good luck with buying refurbished in the past...knock on wood...and I would be willing to take a chance on Factory Direct, especially for the price you paid. Please let us know if you again find such a deal again and I will jump on in .
Happy Thanksgiving Day!! |

I'm weeping a little as I prepare my T1 to go to a new home. I really do like the Kobo Aura H2O that's replacing it, but the T1 has been with me a long time and I'll miss it.

Prs-T3 is 49.95 at factory direct (Canada only)
A friend wanted me to order one for him at $69.95 and I was pleasantly surprised to see it on sale lower. Helen |

So sad....factory direct is in Canada. Why can't it be in the USA? And they apparently won't mail to places outside of Canada. No deal for me.
But thanks for posting. At least some people can take advantage of this sale. |

My T1 behaves really bad for a while now (freezes when using the dictionary), so I will have to abandon it in favour of a KV.
I do enjoy the 350 (PRS+ is rock solid), but that has been conquered by the lady long time ago... ;-) |

Do you know if it's the version that comes with a cover or the one that just has a back plate (T3S)? Can't seem to find any information on their site. I know it says PRST3, but you never know if they pay attention to those details. I almost purchased it like 3 months ago and decided to wait. It was like 100 CAD for the T3S + separate cover (same price as T3 with included cover). 2 weeks ago I went to the Sony Store to finally buy it and they told me that they weren't selling them anymore (my heart broke into a million pieces at that instant). I've had a PRS-505 for 6 years now and it still works great(ish), so I have high hopes for the T3 in terms of quality. Last edited by onizuko; 12-04-2014 at 11:52 PM. |

Although I have a kobo H20 with a carta display, I still use my T3 as my main reader,Just love it.The kobo is very good,but to my eyes the reading experience on the Sony is better. Even at night I prefer it (with a mighty bright xtra flex popped on)
