Overstock has the Sony Reader available for just under 205 dollars.  The reader’s model number is PRS-500U2, which is Sony’s first generation e-book reader and is a refurbished device.  Yes it is a refurb, but I would let that stop me from getting if I was in the market for a reader.  In fact you can get a two-year extended warranty for $29.99.  It doesn’t cover accidental damage to the screen from what I read, but it does cover common mechanical or electrical failures, including normal wear and tear as well as a no-lemon guarantee.  The good thing is that now those who have been hesitant about trying an e-ink device or any e-book reader can join in on the fun at a cheaper price.
