Somebody mentioned eBay ... can't you get a used PRS there?

NO, I mean something that will help me get through the backlog of eBooks I want to read. I'm kinda old, I don't have that much time.

NewEgg has the Astak Mentor and the Foxit reader back up for sale for $99 ->

It (The PRS300) is still listed in the web site at $99 USD. But doesn't appear to be 'available at this time'. Yesterday, I had a choice between deivery or in store pickup. But today, it would only consider store pickup based on the zip code (postal code) I entered. And every zip code search I entered resulted in 'no stores in your zip code have any in stock.'

Yet more proof that snoozing and losing are the same thing.

But on a positive note, Sears being sold out may mean that Sony will be releasing those rumored new versions soon!

Well, you can use ADE on your computer in the short term, until you decide to go Kindle or Sony when they are available.

I liked my Treos for e-reading - it was very comfortable to hold and use the 5-way, although I find the iPhone better with the larger screen (and I prefer e-Ink over all of them now).

We've started discussing soup. . . Do I class this joint up, or what?

My 2 cents would be to get a grip on the withdrawel symptoms... I sadly did not, and ended up with three replacements for my screen-broken 505... had to do a quick bit of evangelizing with my dad and daughter. How about getting something you can easily return? Seems an opportunity to try out a few before finding THE one.

(and I do like soup too, but gave up on the joints a long time ago...)
