Student Discount On Sony Readers
Just noticed this when I bought a PRS-300 as a gift. Sony’s running an educational discount, 10% off on ereaders (and many other things in the Sony Style online store). Also, for some reason I didn’t catch, I got an additional thirty bucks off when I got a PRS-300 and a cover that retails for $30—didn’t have to sign up for a credit card or do anything else.
That adds up to a PRS-300 and a cover for $176 plus tax, and you get free shipping. That’s a pretty great deal.
You need to be a student or faculty member, presumably at a college. But you only need to designate which school you go to, not your student ID number, very similar to Apple’s student discount system. I’m not sure how (or if) they check up on that.
Here’s the Sony Style Campus Store.
