Have any of you guys bought asian ereaders throught ebay or Amazon?
Straight from Hong Kong.

Here's one company:
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=as_li_ss...AN5NOYCSXQETZY

Free shipping.

Takes a couple weeks at most.
Not overly expensive when shopping isn't free.
(I've found UK to US shipping to be more expensive.)

Ebay?
http://www.ebay.com/sch/iPads-Tablet...w=boyue+t62%2B

Ordering from Hong Kong is not much different than ordering from Amazon UK or buying a reader from the Netherlands.
I've done all three.
No. Big. Deal.

There is no shortage of options.
There is so much commercial activity across the pacific it is cheap and easy.

Welcome to the 21st century.
Very different from the 20th.
