I tried to look on various sites in Canada today for my mil and noticed that Sony is now saying it is backordered until March 1st. Until now, they had silver ones still available. I guess they have sold out of all the colours now. All the retailer sites are sold out right now as well.

The 650 is great, and after catching up with the off-topic debates on this thread I'm glad I was able to get it and didn't join the Kindle herd. Now I just have to stump up for the case with light! Back on-topic, the other day I was informed by staff in our local Waterstones that they don't know when they'll get them back because of a "global shortage of eInk" (?) which I assume meant Sony can't get enough screens - they still stock the accessories though. The local franchised Sony Style outlet said they've been discontinued because Sony are planning to release colour readers instead this year. The UK call centre say they have a few around but they were just very popular over Christmas, and they definitely aren't discontinued because they're in their 2011 product guide. Either way I'm alright Jack because I have my 650 - touch screen, library books and all! |

I gotta agree with that as I understand that she never expected anywhere near this money. She was only looking for enough success to lead a comfortably modest life.

If you click on the BUY NOW button from the link you provided (PRS 650) you end in a non-existing page. (...not a good sign...) The PRS 950 results backordered...I placed the order three weeks ago and God only knows if I will ever put my hands on it. |

Dell (as of yesterday) was listing the black PRS-650 again; red one has gone missing.

Side note: I just registered here today, but I've been reading this site for the last 3 weeks in an attempt to decide what device I wanted to get. Let me just say this site is incredible and Calibre blows my socks off! |

The Futureshop in Sydney, NS, Canada has 1 PRS650 in stock ($250) and about 10 x PRS350s.

Hi,
I ordered online at Borders.com a Sony PRS-350 on Feb 11th. I didn't receive it yet (Canada, BC). I have emailed them twice since then, to ask them about my order confirmation (which I never received), but they didn't answer. The credit card payment has been done (confirmed with the bank). As I have heard about Borders US going under bankruptcy, I'm now pretty afraid about my order... Do you think Borders will honor my order? |

They gave me a tracking number of 00000000, which never got updated, so I was unable to track the shipment. I got an email confirming my order had been shipped, at which time by CC was charged. Try checking your spam folder for any emails. I hope it's just a matter of time for you. |
