Not enough money? Totally understandable.
If it is only the idea of paying so much for ebook reader the major factor, I would advise to reconsider.
I paid £250 for PRS-500 in Jan 2007, including delivery from BHphotovidio and duty. I was buying it only for holidays and maybe occasional reading. I was not going to give up on pbooks. Never.
From the moment I received it I was saying, and say it now, it was the best money investment I have ever done in my life. Every penny I spent on it I enjoyed ten/hundred folds.
If you have the money, don't look at the price. Just indulge yourself once and probably you will never regret the money spent on something you use and that gives you joy every day of your life.

You are right, I definitely consider the purchase of 505 as one of my best investments ever made (I bought it on waterstones also for 250pounds somewhere in 2008 before they cancelled the shipments to CR). In times where reading of e-books was mainly done on PDAs or small phone displays, I was constantly under shocking looks in metro or trams when reading on 505
. Nowadays I see the Kindles in Prague everywhere. And yes, actually the money is problem, 505 is still running perfectly and 300$ for the luxury of touch display is too much
thats why I created this thread - to probe if there is the expectation that 650 will fall somewhere to equivallent of 150€ which is the threshold for VAT free and duty free import in EU.
