Anyone know if the 300 and 600 are available at other retail stores (Target, Borders, Best Buy) yet?

Thanks.

I just called the local store. All they have at the moment are black units. Silver and red to arrive on Monday. I am a bit concern with scratches on the red and blue one so I will wait until Monday and get a silver with a brown leather cover. Current 505 (that I bought a couple of weeks ago) will go to my daughter.

I don't remember anyone reporting PRS-700 being scratchy (my certainly wasn't) and it was black, so I doubt you need to worry about that.

Just to be clear. The ones I saw all beat up were 505 (one blue and one red)... I was afraid a black 600 would suffer the same faith...

Borders will have them in September, according to a friend of mine who's at BGI corporate.

I've had my black (ok, navy blue) 505 for about 1.5 years, and have been dragging it with me everywhere. (Even the beach!) I use just the stock cover (occasionally the wedgelight cover), and there's not a scratch on it. If I wipe it off with a damp towel, it will still look brand new.

Same here with my 505, which I don't baby in terms of general use (I do baby it when carrying it around; it's always in a Book Armor case).

I think the issue with the display models in the store is that they are never in the cases...they're laying out there where people can ding them up with car keys or whatever. Also whenever the display is moved, the units are permanently attached and probably get scratched up as the display is turned around and carried.

If its yours, you pamper it; if it isn't yours, you abuse it (even if not willfully).
