That was a little bit snarky, so let me also say that I have found the people in the store to be very nice. Unlike dealing with Sony the corporation. Yet another reason to try the store. |

Hmm. I put my reader in the mail seven days ago. Nothing showing up with my tracking number yet. They did say it'd take a while and that is the worst part so far, a few weeks without an e-reader.

I'll be stopping by the store tonight or tomorrow. I'll let you know my experience with them then (also if I immediately get my eCoupon or not). I really don't think I could go 1 month without a reader. I used to use my laptop 5 years ago but my newer laptop is much bigger and I definitely do not see myself going to bed with it.

I mailed in my reader twelve days ago, on the 5th, and still haven't heard from them. I suspect Sony may be trying to avoid offering sale prices when there is an added $75 credit. When I traded in another item six months ago, I received confirmation in less than a week.

Trade-in at the store if possible
Tonight I stopped by the Sony Style Store at the mall to ask about the Trade-in and hopefully buy a new reader. They accepted my very old eBookman and gave me the $75 credit right away. Well, after about 20 minutes of me walking them through the process and them finding the right employee with the right passwords to log in, then I got the credit. I was even able to use the coupon/credit right away. I bought a Black 650 for $125 ($140 with tax). So if you have a store near you, going in is a better option than mailing it in, especially with the current sale prices. They did not yet have the new 950 readers in stock only 900s.

The estimated status date for my reader to be received at recycle is Nov. 19. Since the nearest Sony Style store is about 150 miles away, I didn't have a choice. But, that is obviously the way to go if you have a retail store nearby. I'm a little annoyed with Sony, but, on the other hand, they are in business to make money. Well, that's what I try to tell myself.

Unrelated question: Why does it indicate I sent this message at 11:55 AM, when it is 6:55 AM here?

Huh. Too bad I mailed it. I'm only an hour away from a Sony store. My estimate says 11/24. Yep, starting to panic without a decent reader. My iPhone isn't cutting it for hours at a pop, lol. Buy some p-books? Sacrilege!
