But, the point is, when you state they are still available there, you are actually not correct. They might have some left over stock of 950's (almost impossible to find now) or 350's (which they are clearancing out at $119.99) but, they are no longer readily available there.

The onus was not on me to check them, it was on the person(s) who claimed they were being discontinued. I stated the availability at my BB store last Sunday. I did, however, cite that BB price in one of my earlier posts.
A BB employ claiming BB is no longer selling the Reader seems to settle that matter then. Thank you for checking. However, a BB employee claiming that
Sony is discontinuing the Reader is not at all a reliable source. Sony is the only ones to ask. And, indeed, they may be getting out of the US market, but as I have said repeatedly, the evidence still does not support that.
The PRS-950 is available now on Sony Style.

Furthermore, go ahead and show me where on earth I can get a 950 cover (with or without light), cause I've beem looking for one for some time, for my own 950 and honestly can't find one. So, when you say they are still available, again, I don't know what you are referring to, cause I can't find one. If I had a 650 (which I don't), I ALSO wouldn't be able to find one for that reader.
I think you might have to recheck your facts on some of this stuff. I have, because I was looking for a 950 for some time before finally finding a store that carried them.

I think people just want to argue, and are not interested in keeping things in context.
I already stated in a previous post that I had incorrectly lumped the PRS-950 cover in with the others. It has been nearly impossible to find since release, with me citing a January post where ABT electronics had it, and people were amazed and ecstatic because even then it was so hard to find. ABT doesn't have it any more, sorry.
To find a cover for the 650, you need to click on it at Sony Style, and then select the alternate color (red/pink). At that point it comes up as "Add to Cart," meaning in stock.
