Yeah, in the US, only people who were hard core were aware. I remember it, and how people were modding it to be in english. I was tempted to get one at the time, but life happened (hurt on the job, & lost job due to injuries preventing me from performing duties of said job), and had no spare money for it.
Still, even if you want to be nit picky and say "eInk based ereader available in the US", the PRS-500 still beat the Kindle by quite a bit.
