I got my Sony off of eBay.. (I am quite fond of eBay - although you have to be careful).

It was about $A350 when the dust cleared.. Came nicely packed and delivered to Sydney within a week (UPS). It was $US279 and $US49 postage. (postage from the states is a pain - I can get stuff airmail from the UK for a quarter of the postage of stuff from the US).

Nice unit. Most of my stuff is from Fictionwise and Baen. They both have Sony format. Calibre does a nice job of converting MSReader and Mobipocket as long as they are DRM free. PDF's are a bit iffy. I've had mixed results.
