That makes it cheaper than the Sony PRS-600, at £250, which is the natural device to compare it with. Plus, it's an additional £40 for a cover for the Sony, so you're looking at £242 for the Kindle + cover against £290 for the Sony + cover.

I'd say that's a pretty favourable comparison, personally.
You can get the Sony for £220, and a case for another £18, pretty easily.

Oh, and 2% quidco cashback on WHSmiths electronics as well. So...

Not to mention you won't get anything like that actual exchange rate in practice with a card, my bank lists $1.56... so £248.62 for the Kindle vs £233.6 for the Sony. Favourable?
