If anyone is interested Amazon UK are selling the Sony PRS-T3S for £74.02!
this is the model without the cover,Just a backplate so you use your own case etc., looks like it's of German origin due to some words on amazon's listing here
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00FJ5PTN...=idealocouk-21 , available on prime so I ordered one, seems reasonable at this price.
