eReaders on Sale
Yesterday Borders started selling the Sony Touch ereader for $199.99, reportedly even listing it for $100 for a while. This was probably a typo. Today the virus has spread and the Sony Touch is on sale elsewhere as well. BestBuy.comis selling the PRS-600 for $199.99, Newegg.com
has it for $219.99 and both offer free shipping.
Is Sony lowering the price of the PRS-600 ereader because its sales have been hit hard by the nook? Sony used to hold the second largest ereader market share after the Kindle, but in the US at least I wonder if this is still true – at the very least it must be a close race. Or perhaps Sony is planning to introduce a new model soon? It has been about seven months since the Touch was brought to market.

Happy Mother’s Day! 
We had many new free books last week and many of them are gone now. Only one new freebie to report:
Colters’ Wife
Since only one new free book is not enough – it being Mother’s Day and all – I’ve also found a few low priced books that are well rated:
Containment
Supervirus
Moon Dance (Vampire for Hire) by J.R. Rain (5 stars/11 reviews) Vampires! $2.99.
A Compromised Lady
The Shot To Die For
The Third Kiss: Dorian’s Dream
Also check out my Free and Cheap Kindle Books page. There are also free ebooks at Koboand at the Barnes & Noble store. It is also worthwhile having a look at Smashwords.

Ereader Sales & Free eBooks – 2/14/2010 no comments
So far I have not found any dramatic President’s Day sales on ereaders. Newegg.com still has good deals on the Ectaco JetBook and JetBook Lite. You can also get the Sony Touch at Newegg for $269, but at Amazon it can be had for as low as $258.44
Fry’s has the best price on the Foxit eSlick at $219.99. Fry’s is also offering the Hanvon WISEreader for $149.99. After reading Nate’s reviews of this ereader I don’t think it would be a wise choice for most users though.
Free Kindle (and other format) Books
Well first of all, if you are a bit too cheerful and need something to knock you off of that cloud you are sitting up there on, you could snag a free copy of the Budget of the United States Government, Fiscal year 2011, and Economic Report of the President. At the Barnes and Noble eBook Store The Budget is $0.90 while the Economic Report is free for nook ereaders and other supported devices. With all of the red ink I wonder if the U.S. government should really be giving this stuff away for free?
The following books are probably free for only a limited time; so if you see something you want you should grab it now. Also check out the Free Kindle Books page.
More Blood, More Sweat and Another Cup of Tea by Tom Reynolds (4 1/2 stars/3 ratings)True adventures of an EMT in London.

Newegg.comhas a few rather small discounts on several ereaders.
- Sony PRS-600 Touch – $269.99 + $1.99 shipping
- Astak EZ Reader Pro – $229.99 w/free shipping
- Ectaco JetBook Lite – $139.99 w/free shipping
- Ectaco JetBook – $179.99 w/free shipping
- Foxit eSlick – $269.99 w/free shipping (Fry’s has a lower price – see below)
Ectaco has apparently made an earlight for use with their JetBook ereaders, and Newegg is offering $10 off of the regular $29.99 price if you bundle it with one of several ereaders.
I have not been able to find any user reviews of Ectaco’s earlight, but I can’t imagine it being as effective as one of the clip-on ereader lights such as the Mighty Bright. What I can imagine is using my ereader in bed at night with the earlight when my significant other asks me something and I blind her with it when I turn my head to answer.
Fry’s has the Foxit eSlick for $239.99.
Update 1/17/10: Best Buy now has the Sony PRS-300 Touch Edition on sale for $179.99.
