Price cut on the Sony PRS-700
I was just checking the Sony Style site to show a friend of mine what the reader looks like (I had forgotten mine at home) when I discover that the actual price went from $399 to $349.
I just thought people should know about this in case they were thinking about buying it but thought it too pricey. |

Wow, you folks are silly. I paid over $2000 for a Core Duo laptop right when the new chips were released. 6 months later I bought my son a similar speced laptop with a Core 2 Duo for $800.
Prices on tech goes down... and tech gets better. That's just how it works. BOb |

But I do know that's the way tech goes. One day we'll be seeing electronic newspapers being sold at newstands for 50 cents while we walk our grand children and complain on how I paid 400 for a book reader 75 years ago. The natural order of things... |

I think the price drop is to compete with the K2. And it's now cheaper then the K2. The K2 is $359.xx plus the cost of a cover. The 700 is $349.99 and you don't need to purchase a cover if you don't want.
