Given that Fry's has run discounted price at $239 in the past, this new deal ($249 - $30 rebate=$219) is good but not great. The fact that Sony 505 was on sale at $199 had set some price point in people's minds. I still prefer the EZ-Reader, but I would much prefer paying the old sale price $239 than the hassle of submitting/tracking rebates; in particular frys.com is doing such a poor/sloppy job with this promotion that the rebate form isn't even available online (obviously failed to check/confirm on their own website).
