Sony Reader at Amazon

Amazon is selling Sony Reader and calling it an LCD:
"E-reader 6IN LCD Portable Dark Blue E-book Approx 170 Pix/inch"

They don't specify if it is a 500 or 505.

Where's the Kindle?

I don't think you really just what a significant discovery you've made. It's a 505, it's in stock, and it's available for international sale.

You've just made a lot of people very happy - well done!

They have both the blue and the silver models available.

Just tried to order one and got the message "this item cannot be shipped to international addresses".

Oh well, you had me excited for a minute or two at least

Congrats to our overseas friends!

Is this a direct Amazon sale or a Z-shop? I'm betting the latter...

... but only, it seems, if you live in the US. I've sent an e-mail to customer service to ask them what the problem is.

They use the word "LCD" in the product title, but correctly call it "eInk" in the description that follows.

Just had a reply from Amazon - at least they answer their e-mail quickly!

Thank you for writing to Amazon.com.

I'm sorry, but we are not able to ship Electronic items to United

we can ship only books, music, videos, and DVDs to most destinations
outside the U.S. We can also ship some software, tools, video games,
jewelry, sporting goods, shoes, consumer electronics and kitchen
items to some destinations; for more information, visit this page:

Some items, such as Apparel & Accessories, are sold and shipped by
registered third-party merchants. Each merchant sets their own
shipping policy and some may ship to your country.
