Sony cuts the price of their eReader
Since its launch, Sony has steadily dropped the price of its eReader from its original $199 to $169 and now to $149. Frankly, I think it is too little, too late. As dedicated eReaders go, the Kindle still rules the roost. And, with the appearance of the iPad Sony's outdated e-Ink technology and lack of mobile connectivity pretty much relegate it to the "also rans".
UPDATE: Sony has completely discontinued their eReader and Books-a-Million is offering it for $99 or for club members at $79.

Has Sony discontinued its entire ereader line
I know for sure that the PRS-500/505/700 line is gone. Not sure about the 300/600/900, but they have significantly reduced the price of those models.
I noticed that the ereader portion of the Sony Store is down as of this morning. I'll check it later to see if it ever comes up
The Sony ereader store is still operational and they have reduced the price of the Sony Reader Daily Edition to $249.99 which includes an extra battery pack.
