Check out Waterstones.
They don't say it is out of stock. Only that it takes between 2-4 weeks to deliver.

It is not the 350 that is a rare find

Thank you for the welcome.

I will keep looking and hopefully one day I will find a 650 in stock.

I did ask at Waterstones a couple of weeks ago and they said that they had no idea when they would be getting more in.

So it looks as if I will have to be patient for a little longer yet.

The bigger the joy will be!

They are a whole new experience over the 600 people keep telling here. I have never seen a 600 live, but the 650s are worth a crime in my eyes

So check early each morning Sonys website and I am sure you will find one within 4 weeks.

Ouch! High street shop! Ouch!
When I bought mine online from Waterstones, the high street shop didn't have it in stock and they were clueless when they were supposed to receive it. The same applies for the cover...

And just how can staff let you know when stock is due when the manufacturer/supplier doesn't know... "I don't know" is a valid and truthful example in this case or would you prefer "clueless" staff to lie...

You'd be better off anticipating sound logic in a daily comic strip about a talking cat than expecting sober reasoning from a friend who desperately wants to buy something.

Nah, my gut tells me the shortage of 650s is due to a shortage in 6" screens. Looks more like they were taken by surprise with the success of the 650 and didn't make their contract with the screen supplier big enough to meet the demand. Both 950 and 350 were available all the time. Only the 6"ers aka as the same size Amazon use are sold out the moment a couple of them hit the stores.
I hope you are correct, and it is just an issue of demand exceeding supply. The new launches, their attempt to break into the mobile world with phone apps, the recent addition of Goodreads reviews to the Sony ebookstore, etc. I too think these are signs that the Sony ereader development group hasn't completely given up on their product.

Thanks to all.

Just bought a 650 in black on-line from the Sony Centre in Bromley.

Anybody want a silver 600 in pristine condition.
