News from the front everybody!
Today a Sony CIC rep finally responded to my persistent inqueries. I was given contact information of a german contractor who is licensed to handle warranty repairs of Sony devices originally purchased in the US.
Here's the info:

I called them, explained the situation and boom: as long as I provide a proof of purchase that shows the device is still covered by a Sony warranty (standard 12 months), there would be no costs involved save for the shipping.
Well, I immediately took action and prepared a package for them. Now I'm waiting to get back my (hopefully) repaired unit!
Maybe there's still hope for some of the defunct Sony Reader devices out there in Germany.
