If you live in the US, think yourself lucky how low your prices often are!

The US and UK prices for the Sony Reader are pretty much equal, to the nearest pound. Sony have set the UK price absolutely on a par with the US price.
ie US price = $299 = £168. Add VAT and that's £197. The actual UK price is £199.
Don't forget that even though the quoted US price excludes tax, if you buy the 505 in a store in the US, the buyer has to pay sales tax on top of the quoted price.
