Howdy,
Well... I got excited with all these reports of ppl getting the Sony Reader from Borders stores. (I've had one on order with SonyStyle since 9/29/2006 and still no shipping email from them yet.
)
I printed out the Sony Reader info page from Sonystyle and this wonderful Borders coupon that you all have stumbled upon and pointed the truck in the nearest Border's direction.
Borders in Peoria, IL: No Sony Reader Love from them. The young guy knew what it was but said they didn't have any but many ppl have asked for it. He did say the Borders he worked at in east San Fransisco, CA, had them but they were "recalled because something was wrong with them". So I slunk out down trodden.
Borders in Normal, IL: No Sony Reader Love from them what-so-ever!
They had no idea what it was and just gazed at the product info sheet with mouths hung open. I told them they probably WILL be getting them soon. They just said "okay, cool" and away I went to sulk.
I'm going to be traveling for business next week and had hoped to obtain one (preferably with 10% coupon!!
) and load with books for the flights.
Anyone know of some in Chicago? How about the Atlanta Airport (will have some time to walk around there next Sunday) or Atlanta/Alpharetta area (might have some time with the rental car
)?
Also, what is this "Sony locater link"? I've tried the retail locater link on the Sony Reader product page but it just gives me bumkiss (no results).
Pining away for a Sony Portable Reader...
