Hmm if they are still on offer at the end of the week, I think I will pop in and get one.

There's another post on the forum. Even cheaper at Asda

Thanks. It seems silly not to get one for that price. I said the same thing about the Nook too

I could think of worse ways to spend £25/30....

I imagine they are referring to 2nd & Charles. The first one was here in Birmingham, AL (BAM's HQ) and they now have 12 stores. I didn't realize they were buying stuff at BAM's in other markets to stock these.

I believe the new SC store is where they said our local stuff is shipping off to.

I need to sort thru some more books and take them over to sell, while they are still doing this, since they pay better than the big used store here.

If you do get a local 2nd & Charles store, they usually give a better price for a store credit than for cash. I'm trading in books after I replace them with e-versions.

I think I have something like a $30 store credit at the moment.

I got mine from WH smith yesterday as they were doing a deal to get the sleep cover for half price.

I've still got my 20% off to spend on accessories too.

Well I've got 3 now (kindle, kobo, Nook), not including my ipad mini, galaxy note, galaxy tab and iPod touch

I almost feel I should buy one just in case anything goes wrong with my PRS 350...... but I must resist, I hate buying things I don't actually need!

Couldn't resist picking one up for £29.99 - Also there was an offer for a half price case if you bought the Kobo, The offer didn't go through and i only realized when i got home so i called WHS and they sent me a £20 voucher as an apology so currently using that to stock up on ebooks!
