Best (cheapest) place to buy for Canadians?
Hey guys.
I've decided on the PRS505 as my ebook reader of choice. Gonna go for the red one for some pizazz since the blue is not available up here yet and I don't want to pay extra on eBay just for a different colour. Anyway, where can I score the best deal for a PRS505 in Canada? Sadly, I missed the chance to grab it for 200 last december when it popped up as a Daily Deal from Dell. Thanks in advance.

Try www.fictionwise.com they sell the reader and e-books as well in various formats which can be changed to .lrf by using Calibre (for non-DRM'd books). Enjoy your prs-505 I've brought 4 for my familly so far.

Fictionwise sells the eBookwise-1150. As far as I know, they do not sell any other ebook readers.

So I post on the Sony PRS 505 forums and say that I want to buy the Sony PRS 505 and I get a link for another reader, haha.
Ok so far the best deal I found was on NCIX for 319 + free shipping, although that sale price is only for the gray one. |

I bought mine at the Sony store and my tip is, ask if they have any returned/opened boxes. I got $65 off because I bought an opened box one and it still looked like new, came with everything, one year warranty etc.

I bet what theoak was thinking about when he/she suggested fictionwise is BooksonBoard at www.booksonboard.com. They do sell the Sony Reader. They sell the Sony 505 for $268, but I don't know whether they ship to Canada or not.
