The second answer came back more forcefully "They have been DISCONTINUED by Sony, they are no longer making them. You CANNOT order them."
All of this was relayed by walkie talkie in the hands of an obviously frustrated clerk. I felt sorry for her. She gave me a bit of a "what can I tell you, the voice on the talkie has spoken" look. I gave her my thanks, went home and ordered one from Sony.

This kind of info, relayed from low level store personal, is often flat out wrong, but on the off chance that it is accurate, it may only mean that Borders itself has DISCONTINUED the item and is not planning to restock the Sony product, so they can push the Kobo reader or some other new Borders ereader product.
I just checked the SonyStyle Online Store and they still seem to be taking orders for the PRS-650.
On the other hand, it would not surprise me at all if Sony
IS clearing out their stock of the 650, so they can introduce a new 6-inch screen 675 model with WiFi or 3G capabilities.
If so, I'm still happy to have snagged one of the 650's because I honestly do prefer that my reader NOT be web enabled.
