Dunno. Usually it's easy to find the link by searching for it, even if it's temporarily out of stock. I couldn't find it using "Sony Reader", "PRS-500", "PRS500", "Sony PRS-500", and other recommended searches. The system clearly new what I was talking about from its' related searches, but only links to the cradle, MEdge case, and leather covers came up.

Using google gave up the page link: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-PRS500-Po.../dp/B000VI72YI

But it says, "Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock." Which IIRC is different from items that they expect are simply back-ordered - I think you can place a back-order order on other products.

Maybe they're bumping it out in favor of the Kindle? Anyone know what the expected release date is?
