It will be interesting to see price of the new Sony ereader down under. Normally, us Aussies are ripped off by electronic device prices. and the PRS-650 retailed here for AU$299.

If the new ereader cost comes in at the $229 (price of the PRS-350), then more would consider it as a purchase.

The Kindle 3 now retails locally for $159 and the new Kobo Touch is rumoured to be par or sub that in cost, once released here for sale.

It is good to see Sony not falling in with the so called experts demanding multi-function LCD tablets instead of dedicated devices.
