Hi,

I want to get the Sony PRS 505 and I'm in Toronto, Canada. Right now Sony has reduced the price of the reader (on-line) to $299 which is a lot better than it's previous price of $349 (who comes up with these numbers!).
I also have a $50 gift card in hand. So the price comes down to $249 for me.

My question, should I go ahead and buy it now or wait until (maybe!) they reduce the price further to clear stock? or as promotions? or someone posts a discount/coupon?

As you can tell, I'm trying to get it at the cheapest price possible

But I don't want it to be discontinued while I'm waiting! Then I end up with nothing!

Also, I have a reader currently (the ebookwise). So I'm not in any hurry to get the new one. My only worry is that the item will go out of stock.

Any advice would be helpful!

Thanks,
Natasha

Edit: I was not able to find the 505 on the Sony US site. That is what started this thought process
