I'm already up working late, so I decided I'd give Expansys UK a jingle again. The rep I talked to, Ian, put me on hold for a bit and talked to someone else, and then informed me that he didn't know if they will ever get stock in to fulfill my order. He said that Expansys is about to receive some more refurb stock, but the amount being received only covers backorders placed as early as January. Since I'm at least #80 in line, I definitely won't get my order filled.

Ian then went on to stress that he doesn't know if Expansys will ever carry the refurbished PRS-505 reader ever again, in any color. He suggested at least three times during the call that I cancel my order and consider buying it elsewhere. I used a credit card, so I'm not out any dough, but for those of you who used Paypal you'll need to decide if you want to wait it out or call up Expansys for a refund. I think another poster said earlier that Paypal protection only lasts 30 days. In the unlikely event that you want your coupon code back too, you'll have to speak to them on the phone about that too.
