Sony Digital Reader Pocket Edition PRS-300 $179 on Amazon

brecklundin · 01-17-2010, 12:05 AM

Just ran across several versions of the PRS-300 for $179 with free shipping on Amazon...not a bad deal at all for a 5" device. Of course I haven't been in the market for a Sony so maybe this is sort of the standard price?

Yep, there are plenty of deals about at that price. BH Photo and Video have them at 174.99. On saying that you'll probably pick up one even cheaper on the Flea Market here at MR.

d'oh!! sorry guys...thought I found a deal of a sort.

$160 refurbished at Sony Style. $240 for a refurb PRS-600.

(Buried in this thread because I don't think these are enough of a good deal for refurb.)

Hey, you!!

: $20 IS a savings. Plus, there's no sales tax.

Best Buy also reduced their price to $179 yesterday. I called and got $20 back from my purchase last week at $199.

So far I am really enjoying my reader. It calls for a change in reading habits as I can't get the latest books from my local library, but it gives me a chance to read some older really good books I wasn't aware of until I did a google search for them - there are a lot of good (and some not so good) digital books out there.

Welcome to MobileRead, Engineer!

Don't forget that your Sony 300 will also read the thousands of LRF files available here on MobileRead and elsewhere.

An LRF file is a - previous - Sony file that does not have DRM. For example, think thousands of classics and also newer Creative Commons titles.

HAVE FUN!
