Another thing influencing the price is warranty - in EU all consumer has a two-year warranty, while in US Sony offers one-year limited warranty.

BTW, here's a passage which should be interesting to all EU buyers of Cybook with broken screens.

If a defect appears during the first six months following purchase the consumer will not have to prove the product was defective at the moment of delivery. The onus will be on the seller to prove the product was without defect. A consumer will have up to two months following the discovery of the fault to inform the seller.
