Current experience trying to buy a Sony gift card = no go.

Best Buy: Sony cards are either out of stock or not sold. The staff seems a bit, er... unsure.

Sony Store: Clerk does not know what is the maximum dollar value is of gift cards. Sounds like they are custom made. I ask if 'my sister' will be able to make purchases on this card in Singapore. He asks what she is going to purchase, and I tell him ebooks and audiobooks. I am told that Canadian Sony stores do not sell gift cards with that capability. He does not advice me whether US cards are activatable in Canada.

Future Shop: Even less knowledge.

My preliminary conclusion from this is that people on this forum know more about ereaders than salespeople of them, and that it appears that Sony gift cards are not universal in use, to put it mildly.
