Was just at the Amazon website - no K1's currently available, refurbished K2's still available for $219. I guess folks really snapped them up at $149.

I predict (IMHO) if Amazon offered a lot of refurbished K1's at $99 and refurbished K2's at $199 - there would be little/no market left for the Sony Daily Reader launch in December. As noted in numerous posts, if the price is low enough and the quality high enough, the absence of some features no longer stops the purchase.
