So far, I'm very happy and impressed with the device.

I'm not new to Sony's eReader line - up until a month or ago I was the owner of a PRS-900 that my wife got me for my birthday. I used it extensively and read it nearly every day until I left it on an Alaska Airlines flight from BOS to SEA. I called the airline as soon as I realized I left it onboard, but nobody turned it in. I've been debating what to replace it with - my wife has a Nook Color, and I demo'd the Kindle and other eReaders available at BestBuy, but kept coming back to the 950 for its size, screen, and interface. After reading this and other threads, I'm glad I snagged one when I did - sounds like they're in short supply and harder to get!

Congratulations, happy you!

Man, I start getting envious over here. This 950 seems to be something special in their reader line.

How do you survive with this choice of reader stores nearby. I'd be constantly eating dry rice 'cos of being broke all the time.
