I ordered Kindle Wi-Fi with the Cover w/light ended up being $282.46 with shipping and duties to Norway. I don't think that's too bad.

I did the sums on my Sony PRS-600 which cost me about $498 with the cover with light and found I turned a profit in less than a year, so I figured I could buy a kindle too even though I love my Sony. Despite being inferior in some ways, I'm looking forward to the prospect of perhaps playing Inform 7 Adventure games on the kindle when the J2ME based API reaches a broader audience and the 1 month battery time and improved screen is enough to sucker me into an impulse buy.
