After explaining to her that I put one on hold and was instructed to come pick it up, she eventually brought over the manager who ended up selling it to me. So people might want to call first before making a trip down as there seems to be confusion on whether they have any for sale or not.

Wow... I called the Sony Style store in SF yesterday, and they told me they didn't have any yet, and were expecting some in a few weeks. :-( Otherwise I certainly would have picked one up yesterday. Perhaps the person I spoke to was just misinformed, though... I'll try again!
Edit: I called back, and hallejulah! They have it in stock.
Also, for anyone else in the bay area, the Borders in Stonestown and Union Square had no idea what I was even talking about, and didn't find the Reader in their databases. The one in San Mateo was similarly confused ("Is that a book, or a magazine?"). Not really a confirmation that they don't have it, but certainly a confirmation that Borders doesn't necessarily know anything about it.
