I typically look for bundle deals for prolific writers and series. Calibre has a search feature across a ton of ebook vendors. Not a great search feature, but passable

Good idea! Or paypal as Synamom suggested, definitely 2 things to consider.
And I've tried the search feature, it is passable for sure. Just always wondered about reputation, but now I've got some ideas for ways to work-around, definitely will look at that a bit more closely.
I just wish the ebook sellers would get their act together and realize we can SEE that the prices in some/most cases are cheaper for the paperback or in some cases even hardcover thean the ebook. Makes no sense to me, logically. Especially when I just read another article recently about ebook popularity, and the amounts people are buying... *shrugs*
Another thing I'd like to see is digital download available when you DO purchase hardcover, like you can with some Bluray movies now. THAT is brilliant to me, jmo. Also, at times how about putting on the odd sale where you want to purchase all of one authors' works, give us a break!
Anyways, sounds like I'll be keeping my eyes open for a Sony PRST1 deal. I've read here that they've come on sale in the US in the $80-90 range, so hopefully I can get a deal like that at some point. And in the meantime guess I'll be trying the Amazon software to take advantage of some freebies/deals in the meantime.
I appreciate everyone's time and input so far.
