Here in the UK, I bought one just before xmas from the local Sony store. Apparently, though, I bought the only one they had in stock (aside from their display model) and they'd only got it in that morning.

So I guess I was lucky.

It's very much worth it, though. It's a beautiful device, is currently holding a little over 4000 books on its internal storage alone, auto-sorted (by Calibre) into about 500 collections and it's still highly responsive (I tried it with an SD card as well, but it got a bit sluggish when I did so, and frankly 4000 books seemed like enough for the time being...).

The built-in font is awful, though: I used Calibre to convert all my books to use easier-on-the-eye fonts (see other threads on here), and it's a joy to read from now.
