I think that the Sony Reader has such pent up demand that it may sell out very quickly upon its initial release. It has been a very clever marketing ploy to keep us dangling month after month to position us right before the holidays. The only thing that seems certain to me is that it will be sold just in time to make the holiday rush. Thus, it should appear no later than the day after Thanksgiving. How much earlier than that it might appear is anyone's guess. I think this has been deliberate though as opposed to sony's being forced to continually push back its release date. As an aside, I've been reading about all the ebook devices on here and one thing that pushes the sony reader a bit further ahead for me is that I really would rather avoid shipping this back and forth internationally. It seems to me that an awful lot of people with the irex, the V8 and the V2 are spending a ton of money in international shipping costs. They also seem to have to phone internationally in some cases. Only the sony reader will be capable of domestic (usa) returns and toll free domestic phone numbers. carol
