It really sh*ts me that they add an extra 50 euros to the price because it is outside Europe, before the postage charge is even applied.

To import a Sony PRS-505 from US eBay is around $460.

So if the new reader is an e-ink based device priced under $500 I will buy immediately. If it is over $500, I'll probably choose the Sony option.
B&H has the 505 for $289 (US) and then you add shipping onto that. It's a lot cheaper then going Ebay. B&H does ship out of the USA.
