Now...I'm worried that the Sony won't be available in Germany anytime soon, that it won't read -txt, .doc and similar formats
Not sure what you mean by the above. This is from the Sony site:

"The Sony Reader isn’t just about reading eBooks. Using the included CONNECT™ Reader PC Software, you can easily transfer Adobe® PDF documents, BBeB Book, and other text file formats to the Reader."

Unless you ar assuming the SW conversion to BBeB format will be hard to use. I think we need to wait for some real world user reviews before we can decide that. Assuming decent SW, the only way this would be cumbersome would be if one had to convert a whole lot of really short txt documents. For book legnth stuff, the conversion time should be a minor part of the overall experience.
