thanks for the replies rcuadro and MrPocket. I ended up just buying one for my grandmother since her birthday was Saturday. I picked up the PRS-300 off craigslist for $65. I little more than I wanted to spend but reasonable and no need to worry about shipping. The guy even lived about a 15 minute drive away so it didn't take long. Gma loves it and spent the whole weekend learning how to use it :-) I gave it to her with about 100 ebooks, a mix of newer ones with public domain ones I found here at the wonderful mobileread and set up a Singapore library account and adobe digital editions account so she can find some of her own books to download. Even with 100 books on it, there is still plenty of space. The PRS-300 is certainly more tetchy then my PRS-350. I'll have to wait on my aunt's for awhile though. Maybe I'll find another sub-$85 ebook reader in the future.
