I am in the UK, I have spent two months researching and reading about readers, I initially was going to get a Sony as I could view and test these in the shops, I then moved towards the Bebook Mini, but after reading the reviews and experiences of people on this board I have ordered the Pocketbook 360 from the US site
www.pocketbookreader.com as they distribute to UK, there is also a chap in Germany who can supply, check the pocketbook threads for info. I will no doubt give my opions when it arrives, but the company reply to the threads on this site and appear to address questions/requests very quickly and completely.
