Yup, you are quite right that Waterstones has credible stock of both the 650 and 350 models, according to their online inventory tool. And there is no question there is life outside of North America.
But the fact that Sony's own stores in the US and Canada, and virtually its entire retail distribution channel (Best Buy, Wal-Mart, etc), has effectively stopped carrying the ereaders or, as in the case of the Sony branded stores, only carries the PRS-350 ... is suggestive that Sony is reprioritizing its business. Time will tell.
