Nope, it wasn't obvious at all. Why would I think that you were talking about the same thing when the 650 doesn't come in navy, and you clearly typed "navy"?

Likewise, I didn't say "Out of Stock," but assumed that the reader would take the point that it might say "Discontinued" if there were none available in the US as they might not want to ship 'em back from the UK and also have to re-flash the firmware to the US style.

No, I would not assume that "Out of Stock" and "Discontinued" would mean the same thing, since they don't, and never have in the US shopping markets. Out of Stock means: We're waiting for a fresh shipment. Discontinued means: that either the product is out of production or a store has no plans to order any more of that style. Since I saw "Discontinued" on the manufacturers site, it would mean, "out of production," at least in plain US English, which is probably totally different from UK Enlish since we clearly can't seem to understand one another. Plus, I can't understand you logic on Sony "shipping back" ereaders from the UK. Why would Sony try to fill the markets in the US from another country's leftovers? Especially one that's 1/5 the size.
Like I said, we probably don't speak the same language because you didn't sound ironic or humorous, you sounded rude and condescending. Did I do something to offend you, or is this your way of winning friends and influencing people?
