I have had some poor experiences importing stuff from HK/China via eBay so, for me anyway, I would prefer to get from a real shop - especially for something this pricey.

I ended up paying about £230 for the reader plus leather cover + taxes/duty - and I've had it a couple of months now - so to get it 4 months early for around the UK RRP, then I`m more than happy

(And since I can also read technical manuals on the thing then this meant I could also buy it through my company - mwuhahahaha.... )
