Don't get me wrong, I want this reader just as bad as you guys do. Wouldn't they want to advertise this product around in magazines during September if they had a launch goal of October?

Just a thought

Ah, you've clearly never dealt with the Ancient and Arcane Mysteries of Marketing, grassho -- um, I mean, Frogsmasha.

Those guys have their own way of thinking about things that is impenetrable to we mere mortals.

ooooohhhhhmmmmmmmmmm

Besides, we were talking in another thread about how difficult it is to get a lot of folks to grasp why an e-ink reader might be of interest to them without their actually seeing the display, 'cause it's so hard to capture. That may be part of it.

ooooohhhhhmmmmmmmmmm

They don't need to advertise anywhere. Anyone who wants one of them, has heard about them, and has been waiting (very patiently *sigh*) for it. All they have to do is release it, and we will come running. I'm getting my shoes ready!

I think that the Sony Reader has such pent up demand that it may sell out very quickly upon its initial release. It has been a very clever marketing ploy to keep us dangling month after month to position us right before the holidays. The only thing that seems certain to me is that it will be sold just in time to make the holiday rush. Thus, it should appear no later than the day after Thanksgiving. How much earlier than that it might appear is anyone's guess. I think this has been deliberate though as opposed to sony's being forced to continually push back its release date. As an aside, I've been reading about all the ebook devices on here and one thing that pushes the sony reader a bit further ahead for me is that I really would rather avoid shipping this back and forth internationally. It seems to me that an awful lot of people with the irex, the V8 and the V2 are spending a ton of money in international shipping costs. They also seem to have to phone internationally in some cases. Only the sony reader will be capable of domestic (usa) returns and toll free domestic phone numbers. carol

I really don't think so. Sure, here on mobileread it's well anticipated but out in the real world?

Welcome on this forum BTW!

Anyway, to get back to business....Ooooooooooooommmmmmmmmm

yvanleterrible · 09-23-2006, 11:34 AM

For me the Sony is still in an other country! I won't be able to order it directly from sonystyle.com, they won't accept canadian postal codes...

diabloNL · 09-23-2006, 11:35 AM

There will be other shops where you can buy it international. Like Amazon for example.

yvanleterrible · 09-23-2006, 11:42 AM

Remember Amazon Kindle rimes with hurdle...???

NatCh · 09-23-2006, 01:04 PM

I think there'll be some way to arrange it. Somehow....

Sorry yvanterrible, but could you explain. I'm don't understand what you mean because I'm just a Dutchy.

Amazon has their own e-ink ebook reader called "Kindle", so they probably won't be selling the competing Sony product.
You won't be able to order it online from Borders - because they use Amazon as their online store.

Probably some smaller place like the one linked in Pre-Order thread will ship to Canada.

diabloNL · 09-23-2006, 03:50 PM

I'm sure there will be shop who will send it to Europe. And otherwise I have friends in the US who can buy it for me.

EDIT: Oooooooooooooooommmmmmmmm

No, it's not me!
