I just ordered the sony prs-700. I've been coveting an eInk device for a while as this will be my first one. This is going to be mainly for fiction and next year I'll grab one of the 10 inch devices on the market mainly to read pdf documents.

My first attempt to purchase one was through sonystyle Canada. Early last week they were selling it for $400 but it was back ordered. I waited patiently for them to restock it but to my horror the price jumped to $450. I digged for a few days and finally found a local store selling them for $381. Even better than the original price, eureka! Or not. The moment I was ready to submit my order, their price had also gone up. I searched everywhere and finally found a store with a good price. $384 this time and it looks like my order is going through. Cross your fingers!
