I forgot to check the prices on the readers, but the sad Sony display at my local Borders (Sunnyvale, CA) was clearing out the Leather Case w/ Light for the PRS-300 for $4.95!

I say sad, because the 1st Gen Touch model they have out is stuck in some locked/broken screen, just like last time. It's also sad because they moved the fake display (empty boxes) for Kobos, MicroCruzes, and Libres) next to the sad Sony display, but over at the Information Desk (far away) they actually have working demo units for the Kobo and Libre.

Completely disconnected -- horrible marketing. No wonder they're rumored to be headed for bankruptcy.

Oops, sorry, this is the Target thread, not Borders. :-}
