Sony Reader $279.99 at Books On Board

tech_au · 11-21-2008, 08:32 PM

I just noticed today at Books on Board that they are selling the Sony 505 reader for the sale price of $279.99.
The Cybook is still being sold but appears to have gone up to $349.
I hope this is a good sign that major EPUB support is coming around the corner.

They are also selling the PRS-700. With $25 in rewards on all the Sonys.

The basic Cybook is $269 (and you get $15 in rewards), and they will ship Cybooks (but not Sonys) to Canada.

They have a 2 year accidental damage plan, but this must be bought with the device.

Better pricing at Amazon.

I went to sony store in the mall and they had 25% off discount for corporate customers during after hours on Sunday. Bought PRS-505 Dark blue for $225 plus tax. You must show your employee ID for this. Ask the manager nicely and she might override this pretending to look at some other ID for camera to confirm he/she checked id. Ask when the next event is over phone before you go.

When you take into account the $25 store credit, the price drops from $279.99 to $254.99. I think that's just a bit lower then the Amazon pricing.

I see BoB is not selling the silver 505 ($230 at Amazon) so for the colors they look to be the best deal.
