The 350 is $199.00 at Walmart in Canada. Yikes! Good old healthy competition is alive and well in Canada, NOT. You'll be lucky to find a 650 anywhere. Maybe they are still dripping into Sony stores. Try calling around and reserving one.

Personally I think I'd wait till autumn to see if Sony releases a new range. Either that, or buy a Nook. But if you are outside the USA you will have to side-load (judging from a previous poster's comment). The Nook does look nice if you are a techy Canadian. It's even Android compatible!
