Up until a few days ago, I believe they were charging $349 for the PRS600. I recently purchased this model when I was in New York for $200 (at the Sony store). I thought I was saving a ton compared to buying it in Montreal. Then a few days later, I saw it advertised for 250.00 in Canada. Personally, I would pick it up in Canada, as opposed to importing it from the USA via an online purchase. Once you factor in shipping costs, the savings would not be that significant. Also, I'm not sure whether Sony Canada would honour the warranty on a USA purchased reader. But if I was in the US, I would buy it there. The 250.00 Canadian price in Quebec works out to approx $282 after taxes compare to approx $218USF in New York.
