So, anybody have any luck getting this for $49.99 as an existing cardholder?

Is it the same thing? If yes, applying for the Sony Credit card only save $50.Certainly not worth saving just $50 to ding your credit report. Go with the $99 link through Tiger Direct. I'm in at $108 shipped with same bonus offers. Thanks, OP, for starting the e-Book discussion here.

First USA is owned by Chase.

This card has 0% APR for the 1st year + 0% APR balance transfer offer, $3 min $75 max balance transfer fee. Pretty standard for new card accounts.

What does the rat smell like today?

I'm also an existing cardholder. I called Sony Rewards redemption, and they didn't know anything. How do I get in on this?

When I try to read the #1 footnote, it appears to be cut off. Mine ends with "sslcs title will be applied to your". Does anybody know what this means or what might be after that?

Generally TigerDirect will note something as refurbished if it is. This looks new, HOWEVER, the price is now up to $249, so I'm not sure if it was a very limited time offer or a price mistake. I purchased one at the $99.95 price as well.

Maybe they are trying to recoup their losses from those of us lucky enough to get in at $99?

No color is a drawback. How can I read e-comic and e-newspaper? I don't think this device will sell.

It already IS selling - it's probably the #1 ebook device out there aside from PDAs.

Shows OOS now.

I've been following these ereaders for a while, but decided to go with the recent Buy.com Nokia 770 deal for a low priced ebook reader. Paired with FBReader, it's working out great, plus it has the added bonus of web browsing, media, chat and voice chat.

I'm sure an e-ink or OLED ebook reader will be in my future, but I'm waiting another generation or two for prices to come down.

So is it just me, or does anyone else know HOW you get the eReader?

I don't have a card and applied through the link and it just says thank you for applying I will know if I got approved via snail mail. Is there supposed to be something in the mail about getting this or do I have to call in also? There's nothing but an application... do I get charged on the new credit card and get mailed the eReader? so confused...
