I did see the cheapest used one on Amazon for $120, though I'm not sure what kind of risk I'd be doing buying it. I have no problem with used products if they are gently used, not beat up. I'm not sure what would be a reasonable price to expect for a used 350, though.



I am INCREDIBLY happy to hear that. That was my biggest beef with the Kindle, the second being that it doesn't read ePub. What I had read before made it sound like libraries had to buy them separately. Thank you for the good news!
If you have a BestBuy near you, the Sony 350s are now going for about $120, or at least they were at my Best Buy. It's worth checking! I'm considering one pretty seriously myself!

....shoot, I see someone beat me to me that. That's what I get for hitting reply before I'd read to the end of the thread!
