Price drop in Canada for PRS600 & PRS300
Noticed a small price drop for the PRS600 -$350 and PRS300 -$240.

They are the same price at BestBuy.ca and they seem to have both in stock.
As you can see this is my first post on here because I haven't gotten an ereader yet. I have my heart set on the PRS-300 and was wondering if there would be any issues if I bought it down in the States? Would there be any warranty or registration issues? I am going down to the States this weekend and hope to pick one up for $200. |

If so, one can use the price to get a discount from Future Shop, knowing that they match the price and give another 10% of the difference. FS still shows them at $399. |

Remember, the dollar conversion printed in the paper is not what you actually get. My bank charges 2.5% on top of the current exchange rate it pays when I use my card in the States - even with that 2.5% fee it is still the best exchange rate compared to buying US dollars at the bank or a foreign exchange place. Note: Never exchange money at a US bank - they offer the worst rates. |

You should also consider getting the "reader cover". It feels more like a book than pulling it out of the padded case that comes with the ebook.
