I stopped in the local Sam's Club today on my way home to pickup some beef for dinner this week. And on my way to the back of the store, were the butcher area is I had to pass through "Electronic Heaven". Much to my surprise I saw a Sony Reader (PRS 505) there. I stopped and asked the "associate" what it was, he didn't have a clue.

In any event there it was at $279. What makes this all the more remarkable is that here in NW Arkansas there is not another store with one on display. My question has to be is this a sign of better distribution. Or is Sony dumping the Reader?
