Every reasonable indication here is that BestBuy are intending to drop Sony Readers completely.
That said, if Sony come out with something compelling before BestBuy completely dismantle their Sony displays then I imagine they'll pull them back in, otherwise based on my experience I'm expecting Best Buy to stop carrying the Sony Readers.........Cheers.

Exactly what's happened with Waterstones in the UK, but you can order a 350 from their central stock "while they have them", ditto 350 covers.
I doubt they would have Sony back, as the lack of support for both ordering and customers complaint procedure - through the stores - has been a real struggle, apparently.
[ A manager mentioned that when the store dealt with Sony direct, regarding a customer's problem (UK law, SOG Act), the answer/solution over the phone was usually sensible, simple, and satisfactory.
BUT getting that successful conclusion was always a struggle, and rarely straightforward. ]
And I recall PC World, Comet & Currys used to have X50's on display, but not very long in my local stores.
Sony, shot, and foot seem to make a firm connection in most people's minds........
