Í agree, that 250 is a very reasonable offer, yet... as it seems, most people who own one don't really want to give it up just yet. Im very happy with mine, and dont see any real upgrade to it out there.. if i do get an ipad, it is a different device and would not replace my reader.. 950 was and still is a great reader, probably the best reader in the world

since crisp color readers for the same price range seem to be light years away, i'm not surprised the demand for the 950 surpasses the supply :P
