So, it looks like the $49.95 Readers are for real! Now the next interesting question will be how Sony decides to deal with the Connect freebies. Since they announced this deal on July 6, and it will presumably take weeks to get the credit cards and more time to actually get the Readers, there are not likely to be very many customers who can take advantage of the offer that expires on July 31. Yet they mention it in their announcement. So perhaps there will either be an extension or some other deal for newly-registered Readers. I guess we'll find out one of these days... In any event, it's all good.
