You just have to do a bit of research and be willing to run a bit of a risk. Which usually is no risk.

(On the other hand I would never buy any camera or audio gear from small outfits based in Brooklyn. That rarely ends well.)
The risk is not liking it when it arrives. At $200-$400 a pop you would have to be certain that returns are accepted and shipping w/ins is reasonable.

It would be optimal if these ereader devices were on display in the US even if you have to order them online.
