I withdraw, their are devices available in Germany (but they have NOT reached the marked. We are talking about devices sold by merely one or two internet reseller for fairytale prices. But true, you can get them if you want.)
So Cybook is 350€ - compare that to the Sony 505 for 270$ in the USA. I think the devices are, as you said playing in the same league - so
shipping? customs? come on, we are talking about 350€ vs 270$, thats 350€ vs 185€ ... ridicoulous
and anotherthing, every gadget reaches a limit, where you don't need to buy the most expensive one, just in order to get what you need. E-readers are just on their way, but even the most expensive ones are not good enough to stop you from dreaming about a better one. Considering that, I won't buy a reader for 350€ knowing that I buy a better one in half a year. Otherwise I might even get one for 350€, fair deal if you are realy happy with it for say three to five years
