Hi Ivy

I feel your pain about waiting for your new e-reader. I was in the same boat a couple month ago.

None of the Sony Readers have been available in my country (Denmark) before, and I was, after careful research of other e-readers, determined to travel to Germany, to buy a Sony Reader. I prefer the flexibility of the Sony over the Kindle.

Back in October, I saw a blog-post stating that the Sony Readers was comming to Denmark in January !
It turned out that they was expected to arrive in December instead, and the 1. of December I drove to my nearest Sony Center, to have a look, but I was told that they didn't expected them before 14 days later.

Then the 15. of December I drove to the Sony Center again, and there it was, behind glass - the PRS-350 (I thougt), it was so tiny. But the sign said PRS-650...?

Infact it was the 650, in black. They have no idea when the 350 would arrive, so I immediately purchased the 650 - they had two of them.

This is my first e-reader, but it is the perfect device to read books on, I absolutely adore it. I don't have that much time for reading, but I'm already reading my fourth book on it now.

I also have an iPad that I love, but for books it's the Sony Reader all the way !
The iPad is good for magasines though.
