So if Amazon brings the Kindle to UK with full functionality Sony will need to respond fast.
The trouble is that in the UK Sony has it nicely sewn up and eBooks from Waterstones are insanely priced, they are more expensive than paper books for new releases and so we could do with a bit of competiton to shake it all up.
If the price for the 505 drops to £120 - £130 then I will get one for now and wait and see what happens next.
