To import a Sony PRS-505 from US eBay is around $460.

So if the new reader is an e-ink based device priced under $500 I will buy immediately. If it is over $500, I'll probably choose the Sony option.
I think I will adopt a similar strategy.

Over $500 is too much altogether, if they can bring it in lower than that and soon (before Christmas), it would make it worthwhile, but only well under $400 will it start to make sizable impact.
