Red face I surrender....
It's a fair cop guv ....... I confess.

I've given in.

I've found we now have Best Buy UK, and have bought a "clearance" brand-new 350 for £99.

As I was hovering around risking an ebay job, I feel moderately content...

Now for a Sony cover with light.... ( Sony must have some stashed away somewhere in the world .... )

I find it hilarious. My local best buy has a dozen covers with and without lights for the 350 and a handful of the 950, all lying in some assorted 'clearance' bin. They never had one when they used to sell the 350 and 950. And, obviously, they don't have covers for the T1. But, ever since they stopped carrying the x50 series, they have plenty of covers for them...

Makes sense, doesn't it?

I currently use two - one for fanfiction and the other for "normal" fiction. I also keep separate libraries in Calibre for fanfic and "normal" stuff. One of the readers is kept as spare.

Well if you really like the reader and seeing as how there wont be any more 5"
readers from sony,(at least thats what is believe)get another. It couldnt hurt at this price. If the batteries die there are plenty of tutorials out there that show how to replace. If you change your mind you should have no problem getting back what you paid for it on ebay.

Just got mine. The battery was completely depleted. I hope its not gonna be a problem. Let me know where your battery is when you get it.

Otherwise the unit looks 100% new. Not a mark on it.

I'm jealous. I want mine today! But it's nowhere near my city. How are you guys liking it so far? Is the portability worth the loss in screen size?

I havent used it yet. But I love the size. Its more reminiscent of a paperback than the 650Well actually smaller. The 650 is probably closer to paperback size.LOL

The 350 is a dream - my son nicked mine, hence my quest !

It is such a one-off, and people want it, I will never understand why they cut it, really.

And, vxf, you're right, totally sensible marketing strategy, make something recognized as a design classic and greatly sought-after, and can it. Then knock out stocks at a give-away price, and say it didn't make money.
Brilliant.

Couldn't send me a cover could you !!, could you !!

This one. I got the 650 version for my gf and it is excellent.

This one looks good as well and is only $10

So tempted!!!!!!!!!

I have a T1 and Kindle 4, and already designated the Kindle 4 as back up and my toss around reader.

I'm fairly certain my wife would kill me, but...
