Waterstones has it for £159.99 but you can claim the VAT back of £23.82 making final total £136.17 or you can do the same thing on a online company called Kikatet (never heard of them though) where total after cash back is £129.96. Sony stores are pretty much same price as Waterstones

A friend bought a 350 at Waterstones in Shrewsbury on offer for £129.99 on Saturday. I assume that this is a nationwide offer and that there are Waterstones in London (although I haven't checked that).

I just looked online and the 350s are back up to £159.99 appears the offer , online at least, has ended and you have the VAT refund instead

OK. But I did check on-line on Friday night and there was no mention of the offer. On Saturday it was there in the shop when we physically visited it.

It may be worth the OP visiting a physical shop if it's convenient just to make sure.

Of course, if it's not convenient, the VAT back offer isn't far off as good anyway.

agreed there are a few Waterstones stores in London. It also appears that the VAT refund offer is only available in certain stores as W H Smiths and Tesco Direct arent offering VAT refunds

Just been on John Lewis website and they are offering the PRS 350 at £129.95 but are currently out of stock and will email you when it is back in stock. Same price? who knows

Thank you for all your answers. I can't get the VAT back because I don't live in the UK. Do you know if any of the waterstones in London have it for £129?

Looks like Waterstones are doing the PRS's at full price with the VAT back offer.

http://www.waterstones.com/waterston...vat-back/2238/

I got mine when they were doing it for the cheaper price.

Went into Waterstones today and the 350 is available in Pink and Silver for introductory offer of £129.99. the 650 unfortunately is still at £199 but they both look and feel amazing although my personal preference is for the 650 as the 350 just feels that bit to samll for my liking

I went to the Waterstones on Picadilly between Fortnum and Masons and Picadilly Circus. Its a big store and the Ereaders are on the ground floor.
Its made up my mind so im selling my 600 and upgrading to the 650.

How did you get on NJess? have you picked up your 350 yet or were you seduced by the 650?
