It's just too good to be true. So being a hypocritical pessemist I bought one.

My order went through. Couldn't wait any longer for an update to my PRS-700 for dictionary support. I would have paid that much for the update.

Hopefully it pans out, then I'll have a spare.

Just ordered a red one with express shipping (one or two business days). My e-mail receipt says they usually ship within 24 hours, so there might be more left in red. If the red bugs me, I'll slap a black decal skin on it.

It let me place the order and pay. Assuming it ships, I'll have to decide whether to give it to my son as a birthday gift or keep it myself and give him my Kindle 1 instead.

Does anyone who has used both have an opinion on the relative merits of each? I almost never buy books directly from the Kindle, so that's not a big deal to me.

I noticed that even though the search results page the OP's link takes you to says ships in 24 hours the black one shows backordered (ships in two weeks) during checkout. The red one however is showing ships in 24 hours throughout the checkout.

Anyway I'm not sure why exactly, but I went ahead and ordered a red one. Not that I need another reader and not that I'm sure what I'll do with it if it actually ships. It's hard to see them actually honoring the deal (it's got to be way way below cost), but stranger things have happened in online commerce.

I ordered the red one early this morning.

I have been delaying sending my Pocket Pro back to Aztak to get the paint fixed because I didn't want to be without my reader. Now I can use this until it comes back, and then give this as a gift.

Holy Crap. I have no idea what I'll do with it but how could I pass that up?
I ordered the red one. I guess I'll give it to a son and find somebody to donate the Sony Pocket to.

I just posted my theory about all this over here on my blog. There are a couple of holes in it, but it explains why the price might be so low.

This is so extremely tempting....but I'm trying to withstand the pressure.

1. My K1 is still in great shape and doing fine.
2. There are quite a few other things I should spend $100 on.

but...wow, that price.

I'm signing off now to see if I can withstand temptation.

Can't order it. It says to check my payment details cause maybe I typed them wrong. I tried with 3 different cards. 2 visa, 1 mastercard, nothing

I had the same problem.

It worked when I switched to a "real" credit card (as opposed to a Check Card or a Debit Card with Visa or MC linked).
