I paid full price of $299 a few weeks ago, but thought more Ozbargainers might be interested.. unsure of coupon expiry though I assume it is valid until end of October since I think it is for the "Great October Sale" or something like that (from memory when I did a dummy cart for the cover, and yes %25 off that makes the cover about $40 instead of $59).

IMO Sony touch screen E-INK e-readers crap all over other e-ink readers even the Nook, Kobo, and even dare I say the Kindle lol, which is why I was happy to pay full price. Now with this 25% discount, I'd say it is a bargain!

And Apple fanboys, please don't just jump in and say the iPad is a better e-reader cos it is not, unless you truly think reading a novel from a glossy reflective LCD screen for extended periods of time is a good thing, and not to mention the cost if all you want is an ereader, lol

  Me neither. The order is still sitting unfulfilled in my account. I can see that they've taken their money from my CC though. I guess it must be heavily backordered. I'll give it a couple of days more and then ask them what's the ETA.

  Received mine yesterday. Really happy with it and I'm glad to have the touch screen. Bit of a plug for Warcom but the black Elago stands we sell make the perfect stand for it:

  I just leave the ebook reader on my night stand in sleep mode when not using. If anyone finds a cheap case for this model please post!
