But even if I don't agree on the "buy cheap buy twice" in general, I do agree that the Sony x50 line was (is) of excellent quality with a very good user interface that left the competition far behind. And therefor a higher price was not without reason. And outside USA the price of the Sony really wasn't that different to other available readers. Don't forget that there's a big world outside USA!
