Fry's still has the older ones for $179.99. After shipping that's a savings of nearly $25 US (shipping to Hawaii is also more expensive at Newegg).
So is having to flash the firmware worth $25? Dunno, I'm still deciding if I'm gonna buy one.
P.S. Can anyone who has one of these do a mini-review on the text search feature please? Is it easy to use? Is it reasonably fast?
The text serch would be the only reason I'd get one of these, My Sony 505 works well enough except I REALLY miss being able to search.

JetBook has the same hardware but I read several posts that people has some problems to update firmware - I'm not sure if it was fixed after contacted jetBook support ot not. As for me I had no problems with firmware update but I would prefer to pay $25 extra and get the unit with updated firmware. Another reason I like NEWEGG service more than Fry's
I use text search feature by keywords pretty often when I need to find something and l like how it works. No any problems with it.
You will see the popup and section to enter the keyword the same way as you enter text via cell phone keyboard and after it you will find kewords in the text on he current and next pages. It works for all formats except of PDF.
