Sony 300

If you live in the US and are willing to purchase from the evil empire, Walmart currently has the Sony PRS-300 plus a case with a light for $99.98. I popped it in my cart to see how much shipping was.*

Site to Store Free
Regular $1.97
2-3 Day $11.94
1 Day $21.94

You can find it listed here.

*This will probably vary by location.

Sony is on my boycott list. Because they were the ones who put malware on music CDs to poison the computers of anyone who played them via computer. Which they justified by saying that no one who wasn't going to pirate the music would need to play a CD on their computer. (And a bunch of other reasons I hate Sony.) I have had problems with their hardware being prone to failure; the more crucial the hardware, the more likely it will fail catastrophically.

I suppose that would mean an e-reader would be a safe purchase.


And it was nice to tell people about the sale.

The Sony e-readers are possibly the best available. And you don't need to deal with their software (other than the firmware loaded on the device) to use it.
