You've slightly lost me. In what way does buying a Reader in the UK break the EULA? (I live in the UK and have a Reader)

AFAIK, Sony don't specifically advise you not to plug in their 110v charger into a 240v socket, but can you imagine their response if you tried to make a warranty claim for doing so, from a country where they don't distribute?

The Reader has a switched-mode power supply which will happily work on any voltage from 100-250v. I honestly can't recall buying any portable device for years which has had an old-fashioned fixed-voltage power supply; can you?
