Hi to all of you. I got a Sony PRS 500 a few months ago and just ordered one more yesterday for $75 from the Sony reverse auction (on Sony rewards - 3rd wednesday of each month). I don't need one more but at that price it was too good a deal to pass up

. I am surprised that it was the only item where a large number remained unsold even at the lowest price (less than half of what I paid for my first one

). However, the relative unpopularity doesn't sound that good for the future prospects of e-readers

.

Maybe we should give it as a gift to all our friends and families - at that price, it seems to make a superb gift and we can do our part to encourage reading as wel.
