Even bought with a forwarding service the Nook touch is ca. 150€ for me to buy, whereas a Sony 650 is 220€. The Sony is way better IMO and has lots more features, but if it were gone from the face of earth one day, I'd go with either a Nook or a Kobo.
We had better hope that Sony does not abandon us then.

I'm not sure I would be happy buying something that is not supported in the UK.

I have bought cameras etc. from the states but as these are Nikon which is a global company I did not feel it was too much of a risk.

Having to return something to the US if it becomes faulty negates the cost saving in my mind.
