Buying Sony 505 from overseas

After dropping my Sony PRS 505 two times in the past two months, the display finally went north. I can only read the upper part. I'm torn between going through all the hassle of talking to Sony USA and shipping it or just buy another 505 since it is over the warranty period anyway. I was thinking of just getting an itouch ipod and use it as a reader as I've tried using the Stanza on my Mac desktop but I still love my Sony. Plus I have all these accessories. I bought mine here in Hong Kong from a store that sells parallel import more than a year ago. They promised to send it to Sony if there is a problem. However, that shop is now closed. So I have to order it from overseas. I've heard of B&H. How reliable is it? Do they declare the whole thing on the custom invoice when they send it? Has anybody tried buying it at Amazon? They seem to be selling it but I'm not sure if they will ship electronics internationally. Any suggestions?

Any help will be much appreciated.
