I'm willing to buy and ship readers to folks on this list who are outside the USA; I don't see how Sony can stop me (or other individuals) from doing this, on a small scale. Assuming Borders get them in, I can buy them there. I'll have to pay 9% sales tax, and obviously the overseas shipping costs. I would use this to finance the cost of my own reader, so I would want to make a small profit on each deal; say $30 (I'd have some packaging costs come out of that too). I'd also want to recover the 3% that PayPal will take. So that should make the cost about $420 plus shipping (or less if I can find a source cheaper than $350).

If you're interested send me a private message.
