You know, mate, I'm excited and all about getting a device, but I don't think my passion extends to flying 12 hours to see one. ![]() Now...well I'm caught between the Sony and the Cybook, and the Cybook's winning the race for my affections (the voices in my head that like the Cybook are definitely shouting louder than the Sony voices. The voices in my head that like the Iliad and wanted one from Dymocks are in the corner crying at the moment). Cheers, Marc (and I only just got what you meant previously when you said "another one" to me. I'm slow, eh, bro? ![]() |

Well, I hope it all works out--the Silver Sony 505 was only $269. If Frys had it stock, it would have been $299 plus tax. |

I stopped by CompUSA today. They had the 505 and the 500 for 10% off their regular prices of $299 and (I think)$199.

I have just ordered my Sony Reader from datavis.com for $249.99!! I've used the coupon I've found in retailmenot.com with $20 off!!
Coupon code is: 2LGAMN9ATTLZW8OY9J4ZO Datavision's website says you also get ground shipping for free, but when ordering online they still charge you $7 for shipping/handling and there's no oway to change that on the page. Still, $256,9 is a great price for the 505! Hope you take advantage of this! regards Quote:

I am now. I took it off of craigslist because so many locals were contacting me to whine about the price. At least Ebay gives you a true measure of what the market value is for any item.
In the meantime, I finally got the confirmation from datavis on the Sony. I'm looking forward to reading the book I bought and converted to the Kindle (with help from this forum) and now converting it to the Sony to finish reading it. |

I ordered a silver 505 from JandR. I have no idea if its really in stock. It says "usually ships in 3-5 days". I hope that's right. If I don't have it next week I might hunt for another retailer that guarantees its in stock and do overnight shipping.

You want to eliminate free-market capitalism? I have absolutely no problems with people trying to "flip this kindle" because the alternatives are much worse. A bubble will develop and then pop...
I've decided to keep my Kindle, by the way, and my son is taking the 505. We will probably trade back and forth, depending on content availability and price. |

Yes... but the spoiled brat is the 40 year old stay-at-home wife of an executive.
