Winter57 · 07-08-2009, 03:54 AM

I've been using my Mio Digiwalker to read eBooks for the past six months and intend to buy a PRS-505 while visiting in the UK this summer. I live in Israel. Does anyone know if Sony will honour the warranty of a device purchased in the UK for service in Israel or will I have to return it to Sony UK for warranty service? Is that at all possible?

Thanks to all who replied. I have sent off a clarification request to Sony UK and will update you when, and if, they respond. I guess that since the Warranty is only 90 days I will take the risk and if I have a catastrophic failure (fingers crossed!) I will ship it off to my relatives in the UK for service. I suppose it should really be registered in their name for this to work, though.
