PRS-T3 for US shoppers
So:
- bestbuy.ca, futureshop.ca, sony.ca carry both the T3 ($129) and T3-S ($99), but none of them ships to the US - archambault.ca carries only the T3 (with cover, $129), and seems to ship to the US for $20 - ebook.de carries the T3 (€129) and the T3-S (€99). It's unclear whether they ship to the US. Any other source, particularly from Canada? Thanks, Eric. |

I find having several readers quite handy. One for the balcony, one for the bus, one for reading in bed. I haven't yet sprung for the lighted cover because I have a Lighted cover for the T1 and I like the T3 without the cover. Do you find the cover a better or more even light than the previous lighted covers? I was planning to buy one but decided to wait till Christmas at least. Helen |

Does anyone know if Best Buy CA ships to the US?
I find it really ironic that when I lived in Australia, I bought my first Sony reader on a trip to the US because it wasn't available back home, and now that I live in the US, the Sony reader is no longer available here! |

I've got a Canadian friend to forward mine to me - Futureshop.ca and Bestbuy.ca both had a sale on the lighted cover and the coverless reader this past week. Including tax, I got the two for just under $125 (Canadian). Yay! Can't wait to get it!
The shipping to my friend is free and I guess I'll find out soon how much it will cost to send it to the US. After the reviews I've seen, I'm prepared to be disappointed by the light but hopefully I won't be. I do suspect it might go on even heavier clearance after the holidays and have the feeling that if they're already having to discount this hard to get good holiday sales (against the competition) that does not bode well for the future of the readers. (Of course, from what I've been reading most people have already had that impression for awhile now). It's a shame about their stance on at least offering illuminated screens as an option. Love everything else about them, though. <3 Last edited by SuzanneTF; 12-15-2013 at 10:11 AM. |

I ordered a T3 from archambault.ca on Dec. 8. It was shipped on Dec. 13 and is now in a USPS sorting facility in New York. Scheduled for delivery by Dec. 21.
Price translates to about $111 US including shipping. Not bad! Had to get this one in case it's the last that Sony makes. |

If I wander across the border to Montreal and buy a T3, will I be able to access the sony reader store just as for a device sold in the US?
You who have gotten T3 devices from Canada to the USA, are they giving you access to your existing accounts, are they interfacing well for you with wi-fi, have you been able to buy from the reader store on the device or not? I am very tempted to take a little drive, get some pastries, buy some Christmas presents for the family, and come away with a T3. The price is good and customs should be duty free for the first $200 (or $400?) spent in a day trip, unless they changed the rules... |

You register it to your existing account. You can download all previous content right from the device. Why wouldn't a device work on wifi when in another country? You're only using wifi to connect to your existing account on the device no different than when you take it with you on vacation regardless of where you bought it. Go for a drive & if possible, go tomorrow. Get thee to a Best Buy or Future Shop. They're selling the one with the cover for $99.99 instead of $129.99 and the one without for $79.99 instead of $99.99. That sale ends on Dec. 19th. If you know where you're going, go to Best Buy's Canadian website, find the item you want and reserve it for pickup in the store at the location of your choice. They'll hold it for you for 24 hours & send email confirmation that it's waiting for you. Go for a drive & grab it & enjoy! That's actually a very nice feature that the US Best Buy stores don't have. |

I live in the US and bought a T3S from ebook.de. They do take US credit cards and ship (DHL) to the US.
The price on their site is € 89, and that's what they used at checkout, but the final invoice is € 74.79. I suppose the difference is the sales tax, since this is for export. The shipping is € 25. Eric. |
