It's not working for me. I"m getting the same error that Spiffy did, but none of my cards seem to work.
Bummer. |

Zap. Deal is gone.
The Red and Black are now listed for $199 (the silver non-touch edition is $169). Even after buying the one I did, I had another web browser open with another red one, and also a black in the shopping cart. I didn't intend on buying them but just hadn't gotten around to closing that browser. Checking up on that now, out of curiosity, you can tell they yanked the rug out from under the whole deal, because while the cost of those two units still shows in the cart, when you try and display the actual CONTENTS of the cart it comes up blank. I expect an email any moment now canceling the one I DID get through. Hey, maybe if I bitch enough they'll give me a $25 Gift Card or something to shut me up.

I managed not to succumb...god, I've so many ebook readers.
Now we can direct our discussion about the sweet spot - and I'm not talking about audio. (That's for audiokarma.) Don |

I'm not surprised it got fixed already, it went to the front page at slickdeals so they definitely got slammed on orders then.

looks like a pricing error...still listed at $100 but if you add to your cart it now gets added at $199.

aw, I guess now it's a waiting game to see if they honor them.

Honestly? There's no way they'll likely honor the ones we DID pay for. Still, as I said before I'm hoping maybe they'll toss a few bones and if we write to them offer up some freebies or something. Probably not in this economy, but you never know. |

I thought this offer had finally made my mind up but sadly the offer has now been corrected
![]() That will teach me to read the whole forum the moment I get up ![]() If anyone did order one and now doesn't know what to do with it then I'll happily buy it off them (with a suitable markup) ![]() |

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
If, by chance, anyone gets a shipping notice, kindly post at your earliest opportunity. |

http://www.borders.com/online/store/...ype=0&simple=1 It comes up as $199. Its only when you look at the individual item listing that it still says $100. In the shopping cart, of course, it also comes up as $199 now (although that only changed a moment ago). Really, they must have some inefficient content management system or something which needs updating in multiple places. I probably wasn't going to buy the ones I had sitting unpaid for in my cart, but I'll tell ya... I BRIEFLY considered getting as many as I could afford, so I could sell them off on eBay. But I hesitated. |

Booohoo! I saw it with a $100 price tag and then went to tell a friend per skype and boom! 199 price tag =(
The story of my life I guess. Meh... I'll just continue with my trusty prs-505. Perhaps afterwards I'll buy another one for my parents. GJMS |

But again, maybe if we pester they'll consider tossing a bone and giving us gift cards, or coupon codes for something, etc. Hey, I'd take a $25 off "coupon" towards a Kobo. |
