Again thanks for the responses.

It seems that it will not really be my choice in this matter but more what I can get in Australia.

No online or retail stores will ship a PRS-505 to Australia as it is a restricted export.

The Cybook Gen3 is too expensive to get from Europe and again the US stores will not ship to Australia.

Then there are the Hanlin/Bebook style ones that I can order for Australia but they are more expensive and I prefer the PRS-505 or Cybook.

I think what I will do now is try getting the PRS-505 off ebay. I hate ebay so this is a last resort.
So the new question is:
Is there anything to look out for on the Sony PRS-505 on ebay? For example are there different versions like the Cybook has a 64 and 512mb version?
