Further off topic:
I went to the local Best Buy, they don't have the black in stock. (Best Buy doesn't have the red one, online or in store. But black is available online and some in store, ie. NYC Union Sq.) Best Buy is generally useless for me, except in rare Black Friday situations... (Even then it is tough to see value...) But here is the kicker... Best Buy has an AMAZING Amazon/Kindle tie-in sale going. Pre-Order advertisements, posters, banners and all that cross promotional jazz.

Now, you would think that Sony, as a dedicated (at least 80%) consumer electronics manufacturer, would have a better launch party with Best Buy than Amazon, a WEB RETAILER. (AND a direct competitor of Best Buy... With the ultimate BB Killer killer app called Kindle Fire.) But no, Best buy is committed to selling Kindles of all types for Amazon.

There is just no sign of Sony Ebook reader and PRS-T1 material even if you are looking for it, and the sales people don't even know what I am talking about. (They rarely do.) Just an observation, since we are off topic at the moment. Sorry for the digression....
