eReaders on Sale
Newegg.comhas the Bookeen Cybook Opus and the Astak Mentor ereaders priced at $99.99. These were formerly priced at $250 and $280 respectively. The eSlick which has been discontinued by Foxit is also priced at $99.99. Newegg also has an open box Ectaco jetBook-Lite priced at $80.99.
Best Buy has the Sony Pocket Edition in silver for $127.99.
As I noted yesterday, the Kobo eReader is available at Indigo for $128. This price is only good for this weekend.
Even at these lowered prices I think the Kindle 3 Wi-Fi is a better deal than any of these. It has a much richer feature set and access to the Kindle Store.

Kobo eReader Price Reduced for the Weekend no comments
The Kobo eReader is on sale for $128 this weekend only at the Indigo website. The other sources for the Kobo eReader are still selling it at the regular price, for the moment anyway.
Even at a price that is $10 cheaper than the Kindle 3 Wi-Fi ebook reader, the Kobo eReader does not compare well. The Kindle 3 has many more features and a larger ebook store backing it up.
