Hi Doranwen,
I have the M92, i62HD and the i62HD ML. In terms of buying these readers I would recommend you move quickly to purchase one since it appears the underlying technology platform is moving over to Android. The expectation with shifting to Android is you will have more software choices for readers, etc., but I don't think this will be true for e-ink devices. I think the Linux platform is better and more rhobust and takes less overhead than Android will.
I'm in the US and yes, you'll pay some shipping, but you won't pay the EU VAT tax and you'll also get billed for import duty by UPS. The bottom line is you'll pay about the same as if you bought it in Europe with their VAT.
In terms of the front light, I think it's a great feature, especially at night. The non-front light model will have a little more contrast with normal room lighting, but when you use the readers outside there is very little difference.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
