otoh, the PRS *50 is still very viable. They're still better than the new NST, and Kobo Touch in terms of features, imo. So if you can buy a PRS *50 for 50-60% off, that's a great bargain. Sony products are very reliable. Used ones are just as good as new ones. Personally I would take advantage of the new Readers to depress the resell value of the old PRS and buy the old PRS, if I didn't care for the new Readers.
Bestbuy.ca has refurbished 650 on sale for 179.99. There seemed to be a lot of units in stock when I looked at the in-store availability. But I think it is still expensive for a refurbished discontinued device. I may consider it if the price drops to 120. Now I just wait to see what new features will come out this autumn.
