Great. 290€. That's 25% less than what I paid for it in May 2008!

i'm also surprised how quickly prices have gone down. but overall it's a good thing (although frustrating to people who bought theirs early... but think of all the pleasure you've gotten in the intervening months, right ? how can you put a price on that ?

). when i first starting telling my friends about liseuses they were all really interested, until they heard the price, then they hesitated. it's a lot of money to some people (to most people, i would argue). and i think it's one of the biggest obstacles to ebooks still. hopefully the prices will continue to drop ; it would be brilliant to be able to buy one for 100€ !! then i think people would not hesitate very long.

Hey I have paid for a Sony 505 in December 54% of what I have pied for my Cybook almost one year ago - same generation readers (my Cybook is still the 64 MByte one).

It’s natural market evolution, hell… how much devices have just disappeared or have zero commercial value 1 year after they go out to the market?

Anyway, for people around here, this is an opportunity nut just to buy a Cybook for a good price, but do it “in the flesh”.
Also they have a 15 day return policy, so…

I know several people here have horrendous stories with Pixmania, but this is a buying in physical shop they have in Lisbon and I confess I have had never a problem with them.

Can't find it any more.

You are right.

Someone must have seen it (probably here), went there and bought it.

One can still buy and have it in one day and a half on the shop (http://www.pixmania.com/pt/pt/r/cybook) just paying 3,90 euros for the transport.
