Hi,

I have made up my mind about buying a PRS-700 after having used the PRS-500 for almost two years.

I live in Brazil, so direct shipping from sonystyle or borders is not an option. I will be traveling to the US in December and I would like to get my reader during the trip. However, I am not sure if I will find a reader in Border street stores since it will be very close to Christmas.

Also, I can't but from sonystyle without an US billing address and US credit card, is that right? Does this restriction apply to borders.com as well?

What do you suggest? Is asking somebody in the US to buy it for me and ship it to my hotel the only option? If so, would there be a board member willing to do that?

Thanks in advance. I've been following this board (and the PRS-500 board) since I decided to buy the 500 and your posts have always been helpful.

Cheers,

Rafael
