I finally got mine Friday night at the Cincinnati (Kenwood) SonyStyle store. I called that morning and they had one left and I put it on hold. It was about a 90 minute drive, but that was the closest place to me that had one, I'm in Louisville. I checked the Borders around here and mostly to my question of "do you have the new Sony eReader?" I received blank stares or a response of "what's an eReader?" or "are you looking for audiobooks?". Yeah, I wouldn't count on Borders coming through.
When I went in SonyStyle they had three on display and the clerk told me they had received the three displays plus five to sale, the last of which I was buying. He said they expected to receive five more next week, if anyone in the area is interested.
So far it is a pretty cool device, I'm just reading the included Vanguard novel. I really like I could just open the box, pull it out and start reading. Two days later I still haven't unwrapped any of the cords or even looked at the manual. It is a little heavier than I expected, it is smaller than a paperback but a little heavier. I would have appreciated the page turn buttons on both sides of the display also for left and right hand use depending on how you are holding it, I don't think the little joystick can turn pages can it? I know, I can hold it by the bottom with my right hand and use the page thing, just not as comfortable.
Also, has anyone else noticed on the Vanguard novel that they seem to leave a lot of empty space at the bottom? Are all the Sony-bought novels this way?
