Sony PRS-505 for $199.99 @ Borders

developerzero · 06-09-2009, 01:33 AM

Like the title says, Borders currently has a coupon good towards $100 off a new Sony PRS-505 (total = $199.99, not counting Sales Tax).

Wow, that's a pretty good deal, thanks for the heads-up. How come I didn't get this in my email?

You beat me to it!! I was just gonna post this. If I didn't have my 505 by now, it would've been hard to pass this up!

lilac_jive · 06-09-2009, 08:06 AM

I'm trying to let some people I know who were thinking about one to get it now, that's a great price. I wonder if this means it'll be on sale more?

I just reserved one at my local Borders for tonight.

Hey guys, I'm thinking about biting on this, but I'm a bit concerned. Does this mean they are going to release a new one soon and they are trying to clear out stock?

There's a banner across the webpage at borders.com for this offer, so it's not confined to Borders rewards club members, at least on the website. I don't know about in-store, but since shipping is free, anyone can take advantage of this deal.

I just called the local Borders in NJ after just signing up for the card. The manager reserved the 505 at the register and said I did not need a coupon.

If they were planning to release a new Reader it probably wouldn't be a direct replacement for the 505. If anything a new device would have more features like wi-fi or wireless.

Thanks for the "heads up!" Great deal....ordered....have been wanting the Sony 505 as a companion to my Kindle.

katysax · 06-09-2009, 12:04 PM

That's a great price! I already have a 505 that I got at Fry's for $250 and I thought that was a deal.

FWIW I have both the 505 and Kindle 2. (Gave away my Kindle 1 to my mother in law). They each have their merits. I really like the Amazon store and downloading paid for books via whispernet. I also think the Kindle 2 interface is better designed and more elegant.

But for books that I download or scan or convert from other formats, I find that I generally prefer the 505.

Also, I kind of get sick of having every book I read look the same. Switching readers enhances the experience.

You could just change the font on your Sony reader everytime you got bored

Just ordered one! They ship to Canada for $5.98. Great deal!

Last time I did something of this nature the exchange rate, duties, tariffs and brokerage fees made it more expensive than simply finding and ordering from a Canadian retailer. Please let us know how things work out for you.
