Actually you can get them relatively cheaply at GoodEReader (which is something I, personally, probably wouldn't do.)

You also used to be able to find them on Amazon sometimes.
Doing some Google searching and found a couple other sources for PocketBook eReaders. An English company, TechInn ships to the U.S. and seem to have good prices... (No experience with this company, so I'm not personally vouching for them. They do charge $8 shipping (USPS), quite a bit more if you go with DHL or UPS).

Also, I forgot about Grooves Land (a German company that ships free to the United States). They seem to have decent prices for PocketBooks as well... (Again, no experience with this company so I'm not personally vouching for them ... though they seem to have been around for a while.)

There's also a French company, Tea or Vivlio (not sure which now) that sells rebranded PocketBooks. They were usually cheaper, but I don't think the firmware was exactly the same.
