thanks all who replied to my queries. It seems to be true that you can only access Sony connect with a US credit card from within the US. Why the rest of the world should not be able to acquire the eReader online and use it is a mystery to me.
I suspect I'd need a level of geekness that's beyond me to do file conversion etc etc, plus having a Sony eReader outside the States means no technical support if it's a dud (small chance, but still it's not an el cheapo product). I'll pin my hopes on the Cybook coming out soon and hope it is made available to more than just Europe.
