So I've decided to order the red one (from Amazon) as that appears to be the colour currently in stock. I really wanted the black one however I prefer to get the reader sooner rather than later.

I'm beginning to wonder if Amazon cancelled the prevoius order because Sony is currently out of stock in the black 650? Just a thought.
Hi Trini, I'm also located outside the US and the Sony reader is not available to me too, those parallel imported ones (not imported by local Sony) are being sold at a highly inflated prices and it's the PRS-600.

What I did was to use an international forwarder called comgateway, my credit card was also not accepted as my billing address is in Singapore and not the US, I used their concierge service at 5% of the ordered item price, their shipping rate is rather expensive, but at this time, they're the only one with a work around to Sony Style not shipping to a forwarder.

You might want to check out http://www.comgateway.com or even http://www.borderlinx.com these are the 2 known ones in Singapore.

Cheers!
