As for my friends and relatives...now I have one PRS-500 (I do not use it and want to sell or make a gift for Birthday), PRS-505 silver (I use it), PRS-505 (I bought it for my girlfriend). I also bought one PRS-505 silver for my friend, and one PRS-500 for my colleague. My boss wants to buy PRS-505/PRS-600 and asked me to find one. I bought one PRS-700 for another colleague, who has to read a lot of documentation, and the reader will be the easiest way to do it.
I need to buy another one for my elder brother, and one for his wife.
Why so many? Because in my country I can buy PRS-505 for almost $400, PRS-700 will cost approx. $600!. Can you imagine this? 400-600 bucks for the reader, when average salary range in Belarus is about $300/month! In the USA I can buy NEW PRS-505 for $190 (well, I could do this only if I come here and pick it locally from the store...)! Two times cheaper! Many people in Belarus want to buy ebook readers, but they cannot afford it because of its price here. 200+30 for shipping is acceptable price, but 380-400 - NO! And when people see these devices (I was asked many times by random people where I bought it) - they want to buy it. And reasonable price is about $200, but not $400.
Hope it was clear. |
Wow! this is amazing. I live in Australia, and I don't know anyone who would like to buy an E-reader, especially one I could provide...
So people earning $300 per month are happy to pay $230 or more for an electronic device, and then pay for books on top of that?
Or... do you give them away as gifts to friends and families... You must earn a lot more than the average person...
P.S. Did you ever contact Sony re a bulk order?
